• Trail UpdateThis place is crazy with people you have to be extra carful coming down. Because the people walking are not watching out for anyone else. Crazy!

• Trail UpdateCoyote-After I parked my car I started walking on mills to the trail. I saw a coyote behind the fence just staring at other bikers and myself. Been biking and hiking for 1 yr first Time I see a coyote....

• Trail UpdateRode the loop. riding up the Cobal trail to the benches. It was hot down low, but there was a nice breeze blowing up on the plateau. A few people, but not bad. Only saw three or four other riders.

• Trail UpdateSounds The Same-Been riding the wilderness Park for the past few weeks at night due to the insane crowds of walkers, where are all these people coming from, and the trail is pretty loose. The good thing is if you start at bit after dusk, there are only a few hikers to worry about. However, many of those that are walking after dark have no lights.

• Trail UpdateClaremont Hills/Marshall Canyon-I rode Wednesday night as the sun was going down. The trail was quiet (not many riders or hikers) and conditions were dry. As I passed into the final section next to the golf couse (below the tunnel) I ran into a large BROWN BEAR! She was running down the trail...I must have scared her with my lights and bike noise. I high tailed it back up to the road and took pavement back to the car. I've ridden here for years and never seen a bear. What a scarry treat! (it freaked me out a little

• Trail UpdateGreat Workout!-I've been hiking this trail for workout purposes and I have seen results! The other hikers are very friendly; you pass by and everyone responds with a nod or a hello. (if they're not in the zone)Just don't forget to take some water if your hiking in the hot weather. There is a shade structure about 2.5 miles up. Take your time to catch your breath and back to work!!! Beautiful trail! Recommend it to EVERYONE!

• Trail UpdateGreat Hike-Went up this A.M. with my son. He is in a little better shape than I. It is about a 1200 foot gain to the summit, I guess it would be considered intermediate. Some bikers, (very congenial) we said hi, they responded. If you are out for a liesurely walk, go along the channel south of this trailhead. My son rides it on his bike and enjoys as well. Just remember, the trail is for everyone and we CAN all get along, just exhibit some courtesy.
  Happy hiking... Happy biking...

• Trail UpdateHikers!-Ride here at least 4 times a week. There are a lot of hikers up there right now. Some curteous...some not..some are just lost! Trail is starting to loosen up in some areas but, overall in very good condition. I would suggest a night ride. Been doing that for the past 3 weeks and been very nice! Except for the occassional hiker that gets stuck with no light...its way better than the day time hours.

• Trail UpdateDo You Really Want To Ride Fast?-Hikers have the right of way on this trail over bikes, they always have and they always will....
  If you really want to ride FAST downhill here, you need to ride it late at night time. about 9:00-10:00 pm is good. This way there are no hikers (or at least very few)on the trail (yes, I know that there is a sign that says "Park Closes at Dusk" at entrance, but who actually follows the rules anymore?). At night time you actually go faster than at day time anyways because by the time you look for the ruts on the road, you have already past them. Try it, you'll like it the first time. Just get yourself a good quality double headlight for your bike if you don't already have one and have fun like the rest of us. I have been riding this trail and many others for over twenty years.....

• Trail UpdateWatch Out For Hikers-I went on a gloomy April morning after 10:00 a.m. I was coming down the S turns when a few hikers, distracted by talking to eachother, did not move. I ended up crashing while they continued their conversation. Thanks for the courtesy.

• Trail UpdateRode Saturday morning, you got to get there early to beat the hikers for a good ride (read sun up), anything later and its a kill-joy. I know hikers have the right of way, but is it too much to ask that they not walk 4 and 5 across with a loose dogs????

• Trail UpdateClosed Again - Fire Hazard...-At least I was smart and started out real early this morning... got to do the loop at least and as I was leaving the parking lot noticed park rangers putting up the wood signs blocking the entrance... CLOSED due to severe fire danger. Fire trucks were pulled out & ready to go. Not too many people on the trail this morning, sun was hot and the trail was nice. Great a.m. workout. One final note... did see what appeared to be snake trail marks, I was on the lookout but did not see any. Happy trails!! :)

• Trail UpdateBeautiful Trail-Great experience. I myself am a hiker and I do some mt. biking. There is no reason why the two can't be a great time for everyone. I see a mt. biker , i get out of the way, no big deal. People with bad attitudes make it not fun for those who are carefree and enjoying themselves. I think you should have respect for both. My friend and I smile and say hi to all. "Cant we all get along" hehehehehe. I say "Hooray" for the outdoorsman & outdoorswoman!!!!

• Trail UpdateMarshall is in good shape. But poison oak sucks! I didn't even notice touching anything and still got it. For the problem with hikers, just don't bomb down the loop trails. Just climb in the park and go down Webb Canyon/Johnson's Pasture where there is hardly ever anyone to dodge.

• Trail UpdateWe are going hit the trail in a little bit, it is fine in there not that bad. We start at Mills & drop in to the canyon & come across baseline on the way out. The hikers will say hi or give a dirty look, no big deal.

  Posted:01/10/2006

• Trail UpdateThe Loop...-Rode the loop Sunday late (after 8am) hoping it would be too hot for the hikers... not so. Anyway as usual it was a great ride. Anyone done Marshall Canyon lately... how's that looking?

  Anyway please keep this site posted with the hiker vs. biker issue... I am very courteous with hikers and I am very surprised with some of the attitudes and comments I have heard from people up there. I would like to know what is happening with that, thank you.

  Posted:10/27/2005

• Trail UpdateI know several Claremont college students that ride here and as bikers outnumber the hikers, I believe they may be posing a danger to other cyclists. I plan on attending the next City council meeting to see if I can get the trail closed to hikers.

  Posted:10/19/2005

• Trail UpdateI Used-to do this ride 2 or 3 times a week and never had much conflict. In fact only one instance in 4 years. But last spring I had a group of over 8 walkers tell me they were "taking back the trail". I thought they were joking. They weren't. I notified Claremont Parks and they told me they'd look into it. I was later informed that they had met the walkers and had a talk with them. I was told they were going to be at the next city council meeting to see if they could close the trail to bikes. The Parks guy told me he didn't think they stood much of a chance as the bikers outnumber the walkers/hikers by more then 3 to 1. Still it makes for a volitile situation, and I try to let others know we could someday lose our privlidge to ride here. The real owners of the property is the Claremont Colleges, and they help set policy there. So far we are in good graces with them though.The speed limit in the park is 15 mph and I have seen them inforce it before. Yes, you can get a ticket.

• Trail UpdateAnger Management-I am getting a bit pissed at some of the hikers that hike up the trail 4 and 5 across, and then refuse to move their asses so you are forced into the loose junk whether you are climbing or coming down. Last week it was a bunch of bird/nature watchs that refused to make any path at all. Can't we just all get along, and share the bloody trial. In otherwords move your ass or I'll put knobby marks across it.

  Just my $.02 worth.

• Trail UpdateTrail is in good condition on both sides (Burbank and Cobal). Until it gets colder or wetter watch for walkers. Rumor is that walkers are complaining to Claremont PD that DH bikes are going too fast on the loop and if it continues it may be a problem.

• Trail UpdateTrail Conditions-The Claremont loop is paved and easy to ride. Marshall Canyon has some muddy areas, but overall, it's in great condition. Started the ride at Claremont Wilderness Trail, dropped down to Marshall Canyon all the way to Baseline. Rode westbound to Towne and then to Thompson Creek Trail. Climbed up Mountain Ave, got back on the trail and completed the loop back to the parking lot on Mills Ave. What a great ride!

If I see people on it I avoid it otherwise I have not seen any signs saying that it is an illegal trail. Innes, how do you know that it is not legal? Just curious if you know something that I don't know or should know for future reference.

• Trail UpdateCWL/Potato Mtn.-Went up on the 22nd and did Cobal to Potato and got about 1/2 way up Potato and was about 20ft from a buck, a pretty big one at that. He was all by himself I think, he stared at me it seemed like 5 minutes and then took one jump and disappeared down the cliff. For a split second I thought it was going to charge at me, but I froze and kept my ground because I did not want to have to climb that section again! Once is enough! All is well that ends well, happy trails.

• Trail UpdateCWL / Marshall Canyon...-Went up Wednesday after work... crazy winds! I got out of the car and knew I was in for a tough climb. Dirt devils sparking up like crazy... I wished I had on my snowboarding goggles. Anyway once my girlfriend and I got to the top and into Marshall Canyon it was all good... no wind just fun. By the golf course it's starting to get real muddy and wet, watch out for the roots and stay to the left on the downhill. Happy Trails

• Trail UpdateCWL / Potato Mtn...-Went up on the 7th and it was already hot at 8am. Did Potato which was really hot and the soft spots did not make it any easier. Inhaled about a dozen bugs on the way up, but I guess it's protein right? Just a couple of runners, hikers and fellow bikers but other than that it's all to yourself. The downhill on Baldy road is just so cool... I keep getting faster and faster each time. Happy Trails! :)

Wow you really get screamin' down that road! Anyway we road about 8am and it was almost too hot to do it because your in direct sunlight almost the entire time. If you plan on going up take lots of water! And sunscreen! It's pretty towards the end though and just an overall good ride, good workout.

• Trail UpdateNice...-Monday evening ride was nice, no one out hardly! The headwind heading up the south side was a little rough, but do-able. Just did the loop so coming down the north side was good, no people maybe one or two. I guess I came pretty close to hitting a baby rattler... another fellow biker saw as he rode behind me. I thought it was a branch or a twig. Keep an eye out for the snakes I guess! The trail seemed to be graded pretty good; just a couple of soft sections, but for the most part a really great ride!

• Trail UpdateReply To Carlton-I did go to the Claremont police that same day. I filed an annonymous complaint. I did not file with my name because my address would have posted as well. The guy could have went to the station and saw my name and address. I live by myself and that was too scary for me. Someday I will go back up to that trail. I do miss it! The guy is usually up there around 7 am on Saturdays. I know what he drives and the license plate number (I will never forget that!). So, the Claremont PD know who he is. Apparantely he has had problems with other people, too. I wish some energetic guys would cross his path - maybe then he wouldn't bully the little girls who just want to ride!

• Trail UpdateItch And Scratch-Is anybody interested in doing a little trail maintanence on the itch/scratch singletracks? Probably quite illegal, but the last time I was up there trying to ride them, the rut running down the middle of the one to the south was so deep that when i braked and slipped into it, I could stand on the edges with my pedals. Not an enjoyable downhill experience all things considered. And of course, according to the county, these trails dont exist so they will never be maintained. I'm not proposing to make them easy. . . just turn them from small dry creeks back into trails. Any objections from people who have grown attached to their rutted disgustingness? Any volunteers? Drop me an email.

• Trail UpdateReply To Pain Freak-You are so right about the dogs! I usually ride early in the mornings (around 5:30 or 6) and I have the dog problem then, too! The owners of the dogs give me the same response - "Oh they don't bite!". That is not the point. The point is the dog getting in front of your tire and possibly getting hit. I would think that the owners of the dogs would care a little more about their dogs, but I guess some don't.

  I also had a problem with a guy up on the Web Caynon trail (off Web Canyon Road). He takes 5 dogs up there with him, two on leashes and three off. One of the dogs bit me the first time I encountered him. Fortunately it did not break the skin because I was wearing long pants. I just had a huge bruise. The second time(about 2 weeks later) I saw the guy up there again and I told him I was going to call the police if his dogs bit me again. He got really mad at me and got in my face. He told me I should go back down the trail and go home and that he would be looking for me on the road. Well, that really freaked me out. I am a small girl and this guy was gigantic! Anyways, I have not been back to that trail since it happened in December. Has anyone else had a problem with this guy anywhere else?

• Trail UpdateI Know-how you feel.I was there Sunday morning also.I counted at least three groups of 7 or more.Most are friendly and say excuse me and then move over a little for you can get around.This little loop is part of my training ride and it's right in the backyard of my work so it's not unusual for me to hit it 3 or 4 times in a week.But this place is more heavily traveled then anything I've been on around this area (San Gabriels included)I always hook the two parks together Marshall/Claremont, but lately I've almost had to go at a walking pace even on the downhill due to the traffic.I've wrote them (the city) and called to ask if there is any plans for any future trails to be built and there is a most definite NO, from them.I see less people at the city parks,but it is so conveinant that I grin and bear it.

  My biggest problem is the amount of people who will not leash their dogs.This is unsafe for all parties concerned.The dogs don't know any better and have a tendency to dart about,usually under your wheel amoung other places.And the people who say Fluffy doesn't bite as the little dust mop is chewing on your ankle really test my paitence.Why do these dog owners think that the part about leashes doesn't apply to them,but the part of going 15 mph is a valid rule?
  I usually try to ride at lunch or in the heat of the day or just when I know others will not be inclined to be there.We all have to share.

• Trail UpdateMaybe-it's just you they don't like.

  ;-)

  Seriously, do your part, and don't worry about how it's taken. Doing the right thing must sometimes be its own reward.

  At least you haven't given them anything to complain about, beyond your existence as a mountain biker.

  Practice good trail courtesy, and you will have trails to ride. Don't, and you won't.

While I know hikers have the same right to use the trail, I just wish they wouldn't hike up and down 3-5 abreast forcing you into the loose junk. Have fun and look out for the walking walls.

I wanted to kick his @$$, not that there is anything else to burn up there, but for just being smelly and disgusting... plus isn't it illegal to be smoking on that trail? What a jerk!

• Trail UpdateI Sent-an email to the parks dept of Claremont and recommended that they consult with an experienced trail building organization as it appeared to me that the grading that was being done was going to cause a lot of damage when the rains did come.I'm by no means a trail building expert,but I do know a few things about trail building and maintenance and what I'd seen here was going against everything I've read and learned.The park was opened, of which I'm grateful, but with the way the road was graded I think it'll cause them to be closed a lot longer then if they'd consulted a group in the know.Here's the response I received:

  Mr. Miller:

  In response to your inquiry regarding the trails in the Claremont Hills
  Wilderness Park, the only trail that is in the park is the Los Angeles
  County Fire Department road that traverses Cobal and Burbank Canyons. This
  road is maintained by the Fire Department for the primary purpose of
  providing access to the hillsides areas for fire and other emergency
  vehicles. It also doubles a the park's public trail. The road was recently
  graded to allow the park to be reopened following the Christmas Day rains
  and a full scale repair is planned for the spring.

  The Burbank-Cobal loop is the only trail available to the public for use by
  hikers, cyclists and equestrian riders. There are no other authorized
  single-track or other off-road trails in the park, and the City has no plans
  to construct any in the foreseeable future. If the time comes that the City
  does decide to add additional trails, we will consult all of the available
  resources to determine the best method for building the trails.

  We thank you for your continued interest in the park. If you have any
  questions. please contact me at (909) 399-5431

  I know, I've been riding here for years and then to have this guy tell me I can't was a shock (at night).He looks like he left soon after though.I've since been back in the evening with no problem and there were a lot of others there too.Does Incycle still do the Monday rides?Where do they start from and what time?Any singlespeeders?

• Trail UpdateClosed At Night?-Poppy Cock! I use to camp at the RV park and do 7 or 8 laps a night as 24HR training and would pass the park rangers all the time and never had one as much as raise an eyebrow. Also, there is a beginner-Intermediate Incycle shop ride that does the park every monday night. It leaves at 5:30 and they don't get back until 7:30-8:00PM. A good friend of mine leads and he's never said anything to me about having any issues with the rangers.
  My suggestion?.......Ride by, smile and pretend that you don't understand or speak the language..... The rangers are used to it!

• Trail UpdatePark Closes At Night-Does the sign indicate a time? Or does it just say "closed at night"? Interesting that the hikers were giving the ranger smack. I guess that since I always get it from others because I'm a mountain biker, it seems strange to hear others piping off at the MAN.
  Whatever, I agree with PF, some of the trail repair doesn't seem to be the best way to do it. Can't wait to get back home and do Potato again.

• Trail UpdateThere is a sign at the entrance that the park closes at dark but the rangers are usually pretty laid back and it doesn't seem like it is enforced. The gate is almost always open at night but they probably have to say something if they see you in the evening. I was up there Tuesday night too---got there around 530---and saw hikers and bikers but no rangers.

  Glad to here it's not in bad shape---I'll head up there tonight before the next rain!

• Trail UpdateJust-got back from a noon (lunchtime) ride and even after the rain, it's very easy to ride.Literally no mud at all and only two puddles which are easy avoidable.I did get a warning from the city park ranger here last Tuesday evening.I had done two loops and was getting ready to go up for my third when I rode past the city truck and the ranger called me back and asked me not to, as the park was closing because it was getting dark?I had never even been told the park closed at night.What the heck,I called it a night.I did watch as two hikers approached.I wanted to see if he said anything.He did.The young man complained profusely while the older lady said nothing.Same ol stuff though.I'm a taxpayer and I've lived here a 100 years, you get the picture.I just left then.Overall really good conditions,but I think the rain is going to cause some problems as they are rebuilding the trail all wrong from what I've seen on the trail maintenance crews I've worked with.There are places that are in worse shape now that they've "repaired" them then before.

• Trail UpdateSunday Afternoon...-Just did the loop starting to the left. Good dirt, some areas still sandy and really rutted, just pay attention to where your going & your good to go. Down hill on the shady side of the mtn. is really tricky, some crevasses that you really need to keep and eye out for, hard to do in the shade. Stay to the left of the trail or else you'll end up in total sand like I did... thought it was kind of a short cut... ended up having to hike out... not bad, just kind of funny!! Anyway all in all it was a beautiful day & a great ride... any one know how the canyon's looking? Haven't done Marshall since the last series of rains...

• Trail UpdateNow Open-From the Claremont website:

  January 28, 2004

  Claremont Hills Wilderness Park
  reopened after flooding

  Claremont, CA ¾ The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park has been reopened now that roads in the Park have been cleared of flood debris and restored to a condition that makes them safe for public use, as well as passable by emergency service vehicles that may need to access the Park.

  The Park has been closed since a rainstorm on December 25 damaged roadways to the point of being a significant safety hazard for users. Certain sections of the roads were also impassable for vehicles, making it impossible for emergency medical service providers to access the park quickly enough to assist anyone who might be injured in the Park.

  Crews contracted by the City worked as quickly as possible to get the roads to the point where the Park could be re-opened. Future Park closures are possible as City staff continues to monitor the Park, especially after future rainstorms, to assess its safety and accessibility.

  Last October's wildfire stripped local hillsides of vegetation, creating the potential for mudslides for the next several years until there is enough regrowth to stabilize the soil.

  There are now many new SINGLE TRACKS,and old cattle roads that I have been riding that have never been accessable,Ive been riding these foothills since 85' and I've never seen such great oppurtunity as right now.

• Trail UpdateClairmont Closed Again-IMPORTANT NOTICE from the Clairmont City Website

  The Wilderness Park is CLOSED until further notice due to safety hazards caused by fire and flooding.

  Damaged roadways and unstable hillsides present a significant safety hazard to users. Certain sections of road are impassable for vehicles, making it impossible for emergency medical service providers to access the park quickly enough to assist anyone who might be injured in the Park.

  Major construction efforts are needed to repair/rebuild the roadways. Work to repair the roads and stabilize the hillsides will take place as soon as practical, but it could take some time to complete.

• Trail UpdateDid Anyone Notice?-I posted the Marshall Canyon ride last Sunday and now, looking back, I may have been the last one to see the "Canyon" before it disappeared. I was at the two water tanks at 7:30 AM just as the fire was on the ridge to the East. Went up Marshall and over to Mills late yesterday afternoon. "Moonscape." I wonder if the "authorities" at the Claremont Wilderness Area will allow any new trails to be built. I feel sick, thinking about those who lost there homes in that area, but did anyone else notice the opportunities now?

• Trail UpdateMR. BONK'S NEIGHBORHOOD-First time out this way, and this area has potential. Started on Mills lane with trials expert El Santo putting on his traveling parking lot show. We didn't know our way around as our route should show. We went up Burbank, up Johnson, up Palmer, down Palmer, up to Potato mtn., back down to the parking lot, up Burbank, down Johnson, down Webb s.t., back to the lot on Thompson Creek.

  There is lots of side action in this park, some open, some not. Saw some fresh bike tracks going off a 9 footer at the top of Burbank, nice work by THAT guy. Webb is very fun, rutted, a few small drops. This place could keep you pretty busy, especially if you extend over to Marshall and whatnot. Always nice to check some new dirt.

  Good luck to you.
