Route Description for Mount Zion Loop Trail
For those adventurers who want to push themselves on a lengthy and rugged hike, but still want to stop and take in the natural beauty of their surroundings, the Mount Zion Loop Trail is a fantastic option in Southern California to explore.
Setting out from the parking lot at Chantry Flats, you will head to the northeast along a forest service road that runs parallel to the Santa Anita Wash. Here, you will pass by several stunning waterfalls, including the beautiful Sturtevant Falls.
Eventually, the trail will climb uphill through the forest to the northwest, before turning back to the southeast to climb Mount Zion along the Mount Zion Trail. After working through the mountainous terrain, you will eventually descend into the Chantry Flats parking lot where you began your journey.
