Sunset Ridge Road Hike Description
For those who want a scenic SoCal hiking adventure that is straightforward and close to the city, the Sunset Ridge Road Hike is a great option to explore. There is a bit of an uphill climb along this route, but the easy to navigate fire road makes it suitable for casual hikers.
Setting out from the Sunset Ridge Trailhead, you will make your way to the southwest and follow along the fire road as it climbs further uphill. Take some time to appreciate the views overlooking the surrounding landscape, as you work below the summit of Sunset Peak and take a route more to the west.
Here, there will be a stretch of forest that offers a small amount of shade from the sun, before you arrive at the endpoint of the hike. After pausing for a break, simply head back along the same route to return to the trailhead.
