Table of contents

The Glendora Ridge Motorway Hike is a laid back, intermediate-length adventure in Angeles National Forest that will lead you along a ridge with scenic views. While out on the trail, you will follow along an old road that can no longer be accessed by vehicles, creating a pleasant path for both hikers and mountain bikers alike. Hikers should take note that the road leading up to the trailhead is closed seasonally, and will require you to reach it by foot during the winter months.

Route Description for Glendora Ridge Motorway Hike

For those who want to get out into the mountains of Southern California without having to navigate the rugged terrain usually associated with it, the Glendora Ridge Motorway Hike is the perfect option to explore. Make sure to display your adventure pass in your vehicle prior to hitting the trails.

Setting out from the trailhead along Glendora Mountain Road, you will follow the wide track as it leads to the southwest along the ridgeline. As you meander along this elevated position, you will enjoy sweeping views on either side of the ridge, including the city of Glendora to the south and the Morris Reservoir to the north. After reaching the endpoint of the trail, simply turn back and retrace your steps to return to the trailhead.
