Guided Rubio Canyon Hike

Hike to the east ridge of Rubio Canyon with Paul Ayers. Meet at the intersection of Loma Alta Drive and Camp Huntington Drive, just east of the bridge (click here for directions).

Local rail historian and trail expert Paul Ayers will lead a hike along an unimproved tractor road to a plateau on the east wall of Rubio Canyon, from which he will discuss the landmarks visible below: the right-of-way of the Mount Lowe Railway, the Great Incline and various Echo Mountain sites. This is a moderate uphill hike of about 1.5 miles each way with an 800 foot gain.

The conservancy strongly recommends hiking boots, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, a hat, and water in a day pack or holster to keep your hands free. Dogs are not allowed because some sections of the trails are narrow. All hikers will be required to sign a waiver at the trailhead.
