It was an easy hike. The valley, rocks, trees, stream, everything was beautiful. It has lot of photo spots for a tiny hike. Very pleasant, beautiful and nature-y. And, the climax totally paysoff. Great hike!

Parking is little tricky. There is a parking before the entrance. If you pass it and think that you can park inside, then you will have to make a u turn. So make sure to park it before the entrance.The ambience is just amazing. There is no body early mornings. There is a sign for the heart shaped rock. Make a right and go down till you hear the water, then look at your right.It is just fantastic.

Amazing fall colors! It was about 55-58 F up the mountain this morning. Sun’s our but chilly. I could feel the air is getting thinner towards winter. But it was a nice short trail to get my heart pumping a bit.

Wonderful hike. Love all the rock formations! The brook had very little water in it. Not enough to be flowing next to heart rock. Too dry, this time of year. Road was under construction, so beginning of trail was difficult to find. Lots of mosquitoes in the late afternoon, but werent biting us.

Beautiful little hike. Me and my husbands first time at this spot. We will be back. Very quiet easy to find. You have to look over and down the edge of some rocks to see the heart.

A short hike about 1 mile to the heart rock. Well worth it. Beautiful views along the way. Its not too hard heading there but some scrambling towards the end, to get a good view of the Hart Rock. You can rest and soak along the way in the stream that runs along the trail. Can get crowded on the weekends.Enjoy!

Its beautiful. The waterfall was awesome and the hike was easy. People did leave a bit of trash in the area which too away from the ambience.

What a beautiful shot hike, its about 1 mile to the heart rock. A much needed hike with beautiful views along the way. Its not too hard heading there, but the hike down is a little bit more strenuous. I cant wait to go again.

It is so peaceful and relaxing. There is a little bit if water on the waterfall but still really cute. The heart rock shape is gorgeous.Only if individuals would clean after themselves and take their trash with them. There was dog poop baggies around, beer cans, bottles, even face masks. Other than that beautiful.

So it starts at Camp Seely entrance, I absolutely loved the scenery.

My wife suggested that we go here because she saw photos of the Rock with the heart shape in it from her cousins pictures on IG.We love nature and beautiful scenic sites. So we made our first trip there today. We took the road trail most of the way and didnt realize we could have stayed on the dirt trail along side the creek that leads you to it until we looked it up again online.Our hike there was a very pleasant one, the forest very lush with Pine and Cedar trees, some you can tell were very old. Wild life of all sorts made the hike an enjoyable one. Our little girl loves nature as well and went along with us.When we found it, was an amazing site and well worth the hiking to around and back. Would come back again just probably earlier during the morning to avoid the heavy traffic of hikers.

Its an easy trail with a little bit of scrambling needed if you want to get to the very bottom.The heart-shaped rock is great and all but I found the scenery and surroundings much more rewarding. The entire hike is basically under a canopy of trees and if you go in the spring and summer your short hikes soundtrack will be the small stream nearby.The only issue here is the hooligans that might show up during your day hike, the limited parking, and the lack of bathrooms after you enter the trailhead.

Great hike. Tons of children and dogs. There are a lot of respectful and responsible people who pack out their trash and dog poop which is always great to see. There are little springs and watering holes if you want to cool off. Very shaded hike. We hiked at noon in July and it was very pleasant.

Nice mellow hike, went solo and it was nice to relax next to the steam for a couple hours

Perfect medium level hike...to a very beautiful and magical wonder of mother nature!

Took my husband there today for the first time and he enjoyed it. I love the outdoors so it was a win win for me.

Absolutely beautiful hike! The scenery is gorgeous and the cascade and formation are really neat to see. I wouldnt recommend bringing young kids - the trail gets a little sketchy in some places - but it is not a hard trail to hike. The water was cool and refreshing. There were a ton of cars parked at the road but the trail wasnt really all that busy.

This was a pleasant 1 mile hike at the end you will come out over the top of it and its amazing. The hike back up was a little difficult for me because I have a foot that requires an air cast and I walk with a cane and my beagle boy Sammy pulling me along but it wasnt bad at all. There is a water fall to the right of the heart with 2 s.mall wading pools above the falls

Medium hike that leads to a very inspiring scene. A heart shaped hole in a rock next to a small waterfall. You have to stand on another nearby rock to see the heart.

This hike has a little bit of everything for everyone. There are a plethora of unpaved trails that you can that have shade and feel verh fresh. There is also a paved path for those who come just to walk and not get very dirty.

This place is a gem. Short scenic hike. Safe if youd like to go solo. Im a scaredy cat of wildlife that may eat me so I couldnt do it. Ive never seen anything but squirrels and birdies. Great hike for dogs to come along as well. Just absolutely love this place. Also a great place to sit and think, to be inspired and write something. Which I did and will share in a photo...remembering a time I went there with him. When theres snow, make sure you wear some spikes, at the end of the hike, I slipped and sprained my ankle. After hike, lake Arrowhead village shop is a few minutes away for some food.

Wow!!!! This place was beautiful, everything about it was amazing, from the trail to the sounds of water (except for the bugs). I found the heart rock at the end of my hike and it looked beautiful. I stayed there for 30 minutes just listening to the water and then took thr trail back to my car. Its a very easy and very short trail for beginners like me.

Such a beautiful trail with incredible views and such fresh crisp air along the way! I would say its definitely worth the mild walk and if you come at the right time there was even plenty of snow to see!

Such a beautiful hike!! Ive been wanting to hike this trail for about 3 years and we finally made it up for Mothers Day. We loved it!! Definitely bring water and use the bathroom first, as there are no facilities nearby, and remember a couple nature courtesy rules:TAKE ONLY PICTURES, LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS.1. Pack it in, Pack it out. If you bring trash, food wrappers, water bottles, pet waste bags, etc, take it back out of the forest with you and dispose of it properly when you leave.2. Enjoy it, dont destroy it. Graffiti here is heartbreaking (pun totally intended). Save your tagging for the fence in your own back yard where no one else has to see it. Dont spoil the beautiful scenery here with spray paint or carving into a tree! Preserve it for those following in your footsteps! The rock is a little hard to find, but that is part of the fun of exploration and discovery. Absolutely gorgeous, and almost everyone we met on the trail was friendly and cheerful, calling Happy Mothers Day! Back and forth, showing trail courtesy and moving aside for others to pass, and contributing to the spirit of the hike. Water was running in the creek, which our boys loved. Cant wait to come back with a picnic!

Beautiful early morning hike! Would recommend getting here early due to heavy visitors... alot of people were showing up as we were already done for the day.

Beautiful place. Finally got to see the heart rock

This trail needs some rehabilitation. Its an easy walk, and is dog friendly, but they need a few trash receptacles for waste. They also are in desperate need of a graffiti and trash clean up. Im sure this was a nice spot at one time, but a few people have spoiled it for everyone. I would never come back here, unless it was with a group of volunteers to clean it up. If you are into collecting aluminum & plastic, this place is a recyclers dream! New name for this trail should be Heart Broken Nature Walk.If you do come, I recommend super early, and not on the weekend. Then you might be able to sit for awhile in peace and imagine what this area was like before it was destroyed by humans.

Super relaxing hike! There was enough water in the stream to walk through, sit and have a snack. The weather was perfect as well. Loved everything about this place.

Nice easy hike 1.75 miles round trip. A bit trashy from inconsiderate people. Consider bringing an empty plastic bag to take extra trash out with you, mine was full.

Short hike. Just enjoy the rock formations.

It is hard to reach for beginners

Good trail to do with kids. Mostly easy with some light scrambling. Take the dirt path and not the paved path for a better view and experience.

This was an amazing experience for my wife and me. It was a nice hike but not too bad. You have to do a little climbing to get a great view. I climbed right down next to the heart. Great experience!!

Easy, short hike to the heart rock. Lots of shade, we didnt encounter any mosquitoes but better to be prepared just in case. Look for the signs on the tree and follow the trail down to the creek and falls where youll encounter the heart rock.

Lots of mosquitoes and flies, really nice hike for the kids

Beautiful hike and a little hard to find the heart rock. I wish someone would put rop on the trees so know where going. Its a loose ground, big incline and declines.

Really great hiking trail! Couple little watering holes to check out too if you want to cool off and play around!

Nice leisurely hike. Most of it is a paved trail. Once you get to the destination its hilly and Rocky down to the stream but nothing too difficult. Great for families.

One of my favorite easy hikes. You cant beat the views

Unique place near Crestline off the Camp Seeley. Trail was part paved and a sewer plant was off to the left past the Heartrock Trail marker. But far down the road. An employee in a truck passed us as we were hiking in. There was trash here and there. A trash can overloaded with water bottles on the ground. Trail goes up and parts can be slippery. Trial down to Heartrock is next to creek is steep. I would not recommend climbing down with kids under 11. We parked on the side of the road before you get to the Camp entrance, it was pretty busy. I would not recommend weekends.

Amazing hike! Both my little boys (4 & 2 y/o) made the whole thing themselves even with the terrible weather. I would recommend this hike for anyone. It’s short and an amazing reward of a view at the end.

Cant go wrong with this little hike. Water only flows when the snow starts to melt. Careful for snakes in the spring/summer time. Grab a few beers, some good tunes and you all set

Just a short hike from the road and well worth the drive. Easy access through Seely camp, with a few trail signs. Parking areas are along the main road just outside Seely camp entrance. There is a couple of steep spots but a fairly easy hike. I saw 2 tiny babies being hiked in and lots of kids. Heart Rock is visible from a view point at the end of the trail before the descent down to where the water flows. A nice family outing for sure.

Easy hike that had plenty of shade. Good for kids and dogs on a leash. Be careful with the area around the heart rock it can be a bit risky.

Nice easy hike but it has gotten really popular. I recommend getting there early (7am) to avoid the crowds.

Great place for a family hike. Surrounded by beautiful shady trees along a nice little river with lots of small waterfalls.

This is a really cool water fall hike. The only thing I disliked was the graffiti and trash. If youre going to hike this, please dont be a hoodlum and destroy the beauty of this place. Also, dont leave your trash on the floor.

Great easy trail. Watch out for black ice while walking in winter. Is not a difficult hike.

Good hike, plenty of green and shade and very secluded. A big part of it is paved and saw people with kids and dogs. The waterfall was very cute with the heart rock but the path wasnt well defined. Theres a little sign saying heart rock stapled to a tree but it just takes you into the forest and there are trails up and down the creek. I really enjoyed it.

I went hiking at Heart Rock last month June 26. It was a great hike with my friend. A good place to clear mind. If you go lower theres a place where you can swim and picnic. I like the place. Its an easy hike. Its good for little one.

Great little hike. Went mostly on paved trail. Went off paved trail to see heart rock from above.

Fairly easy trail. 1st time hiking and had kids with us (1-4yrs old) beautiful place

Its a beautiful place, just wish there wasnt trash everywhere

Great hike, fun for the youngsters and swim. Great workout!!!

Really nice little hike to a great final destination. Will be back for sure.

Love the rock,theres no water right now and lots of mosquitoes

This was a good hike, not too bad as far as difficulty. You have to park out on the road in front of Camp Seely and walk the road down. Stay near the creek for the whole walk and you’ll get there. The trail is very pronounced and if there is an incline change it’s normally pretty simple w lots of foot holds so you won’t slip. Once you get to the heart shaped rock, you can go down and if you make your way to the water on the north side there’s about a 10 foot waterfall. Lots of pools of water for the little ones if you want to take your kids and let them get wet.

Very beautiful area lots of trees

A short trail to the Heart Rock from the road. Easy trail, but a lot of rocks of different sizes to slip on if youre not careful especially climbing down to the heart rock or walking through the riverbed. The heart rock was definitely cool to see, but you probably wont get too many pictures up close to it since its below a huge rock and theres a drop off.

Had so much fun! Nice area for a hike, the water was cool, lots of families came and went. Its not that long of a hike. So much natural beauty! It was a nice getaway from the summer heat of the desert, not to far away, and much cooler.

Great trails

Would recommend this hike. It is easy on the way down but challenging on the way up. I would only recommend older children, I have young children and they got tired half way up and got a bit more challenging for us to carry children up hill. Overall its a nice hike.

Looks beautiful after heavy rains. Its a long walk back so take your time and bring water. There are steep trails and dangerous cliffs. Be aware of snakes and other wildlife. And please pick up your trash.

Oldie but goodie. Its a Good way to get out during quarantine.

Its a beautiful place , I cant see the heart rock but I loved the experience

Was a great place. The internet ruined it. Trees and rocks all tagged up now. Trail head is closed. You now have to walk in from the street.

Really easy and fun hike.

Beautiful hike. The heart is there but the main attraction is the shadiness and water

Beautiful hike for a beginner like me Not at all busy during Covid

It is absolutely breath taking. The trees and small waterfalls make this so beautiful and peaceful. The trail isnt too difficult either, that makes this the perfect place for a hike or a run. I highly recommend this if you want something outdoors to do with family or friends!

Plan to visit again when its not cold but gorgeous overall, its a short hike, but definitely better when you go with someone you love

Love this places easy hike celebrating my daughter 22nd bday

Easy hike, dog friendly. Path is clearly marked.

I loved this short hike to heart rock. No one told us it is a heart shaped rock along the stream.

The natural beauty is what I go there for but some people dont know how to pick up after themselves. Its a shame to see such beautiful nature be destroyed by people who are bored that are not the typical outdoor kind that have respect for nature.

Very nice hike, lots of shade and close to a river, there is a waterfall and lots of river pools. Dogs are allowed, down side, to many dogs and it is heavily trafficked and some people dont take out what they brought in

This place had gorgeous views and nice cool weather. It was mostly downhill on the way to the heart rock and obviously uphill on the way back. I definitely recommend. Might be too hot to walk during the summer.

Great 25-30min family hike each way.

Great way to burn off fathers day calories10/10

Nice for hiking and you can breath fresh air, the place is amazing

If you are not a hiker. This will take you 20 - 30 minutes to get there. Not a tough hike just tiring. The picture is just for looks. You can walk around that.

Great day hike for the family or just some friends. Not too difficult and easily accessible!

A lil steep to get back up, wear good hiking shoes and pack a swimsuit

Nice little hiking area

Great hiking trail, great swimming in the pond at the end! Definitely recommend!

Great hike with everything... Water, trees, rocks.

A great place for a light hike and to hangout and enjoy nature. Good amounts of shade and sun.

Great hike. Not to far of a hike. Not much water right now. Would definately come back.

Really pretty hike, we walked along the river the whole time . We got lost but thank god found it because we drove 2 hours to get there #nature #autumnleaves #exploreoutside

The view through out the entire trail will not disappoint. I saw so many beautiful trees. Also you CAN park at the trail head. Most people park at the entrance to Camp Seely is off Sierra Hg.If you drive in , make a slight left and follow the paved road for about 5 min you will reach the trail head on the right. In front will be a no access fence. To the left will be a turn out to park. On the dirt. Less of a trek and you avoid the hill.Howevers this is NOT an easy hike. Bring hiking shoes. The heart rock is under a steep cliff. The trail going down to the Fall seems simple enough but there are also very narrow curves on the edge of the mountain. So watch your step. It took me about an hour to get to the falls even though somebody on another review said itd take an 15 min. It wont. If you run,maybe,...If you want to break a leg or slide down or die. It took me 2 hours. Its harder walking back up so take your time. The waterfall and views and smells make it worthwhile.

Really fun!! Not really that difficult if your worried. My kids really liked it!!

Great drive! Great hike! Ive been twice this week.

Great place for a nice and relax hike

Nice trail with some great views. Not difficult at all. Limited parking!!

Beautiful and nice hike!

Beautiful easy hiking trail with a fantastic payoff when you reach Heart Rock.

Beautiful setting. A little difficult to hike to and there is no parking or restrooms.

This was an easy hike with mostly paved trails. The heart rock and stream were easy to find with signs. We took our 3 daughters and 2 dogs. The little pond was great for the girls to get their feet wet and the dogs had a blast. Would have given it 5 stars but the other reviewers were right. The bugs are annoying. We brought bug spray but the bugs dont land or bite. They just fly around your face. Even the dogs were bothered. Otherwise, it would have been 5 stars. We went in early September. It was a perfect temp...about 72 degrees. Lots of shade and nice breezes too. Definitely worth it if you appreciate nature.

A very beautiful place, there are small water falls at the heart rock. Great for photography, a nice get away. If you have children just hold their hands on certain parts of the trail. Its a little dangerous but is safe when you keep an eye on them. Wonderful place for tourists.

It is a fun and super easy hike to do with the family
