I run Eaton two-three times a week. Grat for easy trail running. Go early in morning, late afternoons to avoid the crowds.

Eaton Canyon is located at the northeast "corner" of Pasadena. It's a canyon with plants and a small nature museum that offers plenty of hiking paths to water falls, across bridges, etc. I love coming here on the weekends to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's so easy to get to because it's right in town, yet away from it all. It's a great place to have a picnic, go hiking, visit the nature center...or just sit and enjoy nature and the view of the mountains. Parking can be tricky on weekends, because the place is popular.

This is a nice place to walk and hike. There is a nature center and the trails are well marked. We saw deer. It is very popular.

Else it's crowded or too hot, often. You see LA lights at night, it's scary but still feels safe. If the moon's out, you can see the path lit up everywhere except under some of the trees, which adds to the adventure.

I have hiked to many places but this was by far the best one yet. The area beginning with the town is a very nice place. I did not have a difficult time finding parking and I parked my car in the residential neighborhoods. You do have to be careful because there are signs saying you may not park in certain places on weekends. The canyon is beautiful with plenty of shade. I say this because other places I have hiked have none and it can be slightly draining for me after the third hour. It is a clean place with the exception of the graffiti on rocks that are scattered. The creek that leads to the waterfall is nice and the water is freezing but clear. It reminds me of Yosemite. It was an easy hike of about 3 miles round trip. The first mile is flat and there is a bit uphill but not too much. It is family friendly and child safe. There are two different parts to the waterfall there is a lower and an upper I learned that after we had left but we only went to the lower part. The only downside I can think of is of how packed the place gets. Otherwise I think its a nice family hike. There aren't very many waterfalls in Southern California being that we are in a drought so finding some like this one is a pleasant suprise. It was an enjoyable hike.

The third Sunday of every month is Bird Watching day. These hikes are lead by amazing birders who will share as much(or as little)information that you can process. The hike leaves from the Visitors Center, just inside the park. Get there a little early as the main parking lot fills up fast, leaving you running from the more remote parking to catch up with the group.There are several leaders who know the park well and will hike to the spots where the best birdwatching is, don't forget to take your binoculars, a watch list is handed out, bring a pencil and check off your finds. We were out for 2 hours and saw over 20 species of birds, including hawks and woodpeckers. Encourage your friends/family to marvel at the birds in your own backyard. I have found that I now walk looking up, listening for tweets and flapping wings.This hike has been my go to every third Sunday.

I usually hike to Eaton falls once or twice a year and every single time the tremendous amount of trash simply ruins my experience. It is just unbelievable that people leave so much trash behind! Countless plastic bottles, clothes and even used diapers (lots of them!). Trash is not inspiring and despite the fact that the trail is nice I can not possibly enjoy it because all I see is trash!Its always crowded with ghetto and extremely LOUD people. I love nature and love relaxing in nature but here just isnt the place for that.I always volunteer to pick up trash but honestly it is in vain. Even a local told me not to waste my time. The parking lot closes at 7pm and I was just minutes late because I was picking up trash. Guess what? I got a ticket! Unfortunately Im giving up on Eaton Canyon :(

Great place for a hike. Wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring water. Watch out for snakes. Paths can be slippery.

Whether you are a seasoned hiker or new to the concept, Eaton Canyon has it all. You can take the short hike from the parking lot to the first pool and teeny waterfall, walk into the big pool and waterfall, or hike the Mount Wilson Trail for miles to Mt Wilson. My only complaint is that there are no garbage cans once you get going and you cannot dispose of unsightly dog poo unless you bag it and carry it back to the parking lot.

Its an amazing place whether you take a 30 minute hike following the river to a beautifull waterfall with friends or a 4 hour hike ( 2hours up and 2hours back down ) for an amazing view of the city and los angeles . Dont sit on a stationary bike staring at the tv or wall when you can go on a hike like this . I lost 60 pounds hiking up to mmhennegar flats twice a week for 3 months whoohoo! Seen a great big deer with antlers moving slowly behind a tree hoping not to be notice hahaha it was great.
