monrovia canyon park印象

Nice, quiet park, close to the suburban hustle. A pleasant place to hike to a secluded waterfall, and quick to be back to civilization.

This is a fun afternoon or morning hike. Fairly easy with nice waterfall and shady trails along a stream. Early morning is very crowded with parking all the way down canyon. Parking has been $5 in the park.

This is a short hike but good if you plan to go on a short hike with kids....a starter hike for them introducing them to nature!

I have wonderful memories of the gentle hike through Monrovia Canyon. Trailing stream, overhanging branches, rock outcroppings and the quiet all made for a restorative experience. I am an East Coast gal and am used to hikes that end in an overlook. Monrovia Canyon ends in a waterfall and I really enjoyed that. I would definitely hike this again. Easy to park. Clear map.

If you make it to the end you'll be rewarded with a natural waterfall. Utterly enchanting! Live Oak specimens centuries old. A babbling brook for the kids. A slight ascent on a well maintained path. These highlight the hike. And there's always parking. Terrific for all ages.

I parked on the street in the residential area to avoid the $5 entry fee. Worked out well. I started early around 7 a.m. and to avoid the crowds on the weekend. Enjoyed this section of the Angeles National Forest.

Monrovia is at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. This is a nice park in Monrovia, if one goes for a hike there is a nice waterfall to also see.This area also has a bear population. In the nearby housing area, I have sat in my car and enjoyed watching mom bears and their cubs going from trash can to next can on trash pick up day. I assume the bears think of those cans as nice picnic baskets.As such, enjoy the park, but do be aware that there have also been bear sitings in the area.

Disgraceful - the Park was closed on 2014 New Years Day...and not for safety reasons. We the people own and pay via taxes for this Park - it should be OPEN when the people want to use it!No advance warning of closure was posted on their website. I watched dozens and dozens of cars turn up and drive away. I drove 60 miles to get here. But like many - mostly locals it seemed - we ignored the Keep Out signs - and walked anyway :-)The Park needs new Management - who understand and respond to their clients' reasonable expectations!

Monrovia Canyon Park is a true gem in the foothills of the Angeles National Forest. It is small, but worth a visit. There is a short hike to a beautiful little waterfall, a wonderful nature center and lots of places with picnic tables. There is a small entrance fee.

Between the courteous, hard working staff and an army of dedicated volunteers, this small park is kept up beyond anything you might expect. It has a wonderful nature center, a cabin that can be rented along with picnic areas. Its most popular trail is a short but wonderful trail through a beautiful canyon along a stream to a year round running waterfall. The trails are immaculate thanks to the a fore mentioned staff and volunteers. For those who want more strenuous hikes, there is a longer version of the waterfall hike that starts at the entrance and has some climb and views as it parallels the entrance road. For a much more strenuous hike - try the Ben Overturff trail. The start is along an access road to a Boy Scout camp and then you mostly hike upwards on a trail that takes you deeper into the San Gabriel mountains and into LA Forest area, including a stream crossing and lots of beautiful wooded areas. Its very scenic - but in another class than the easy waterfall hike so do be prepared.
