Great place to hike on foot, bike, or even horse back riding. Dont worry if you dont have your own horse as Ashely provides guided horse back riding tours for a great price. I was pleased to ride Maddy.

Had an amazing time, my daughter had a blast. We will be back for sure. Thanks Poppy for taking great care of my little girl on the trail.

One of my favorite places to hike. Hike up top to catch nice scenic views or hike the lower trails for a more earthy/nature setting. I take my dogs here a lot and they love it. Also to note, the trails are used for horseback riding so ensure your dog is secured.

Nice area and beautiful canyon views its recovering well after Woolsey Fire. A major plus is free parking, portable bathrooms, with hand washing station, picnic tables. Dogs on leash and horseback riding is allowed here, but not biking, unfortunately.

Nice area to hike or ride a horse. But no mountain biking.

This is a pretty cool trail to explore and hike. Youll notice the horses immediately when you enter the park. The hike is mostly under the sun but the ocean climate makes it less exhausting. The paths are clear and pretty easy to walk through. Dogs are allowed on leash, and would suggest going earlier to avoid the ground getting too hot for them.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! I would not call it an easy hike by any means but its worth the work. You finish this hike with beautiful images in ur mind, feeling accomplished, and having enjoyed a good bit of the greater Los Angeles area. Love!

A hidden gem.***RememberYou will notice that this Trailhead is located within a residential neighborhood. It is easy to forget this, especially after taking in some of the scenery.So please, be/stay mindful of where you are; and be respectful - especially if you have the urge to wander about.***Zuma Canyon Trailhead is the beginning to ascension. And the best part is that a range of skill levels can enjoy that feeling.

I had a great hike. Some of the signs were burnt in the last fire but the trails are clearly marked

I love this area so much. If you’re feeling up to driving up PCH and are near Zuma, this is a pretty easy hike (depending on which route you take). There is an abundance of parking and it’s easy to find, you just follow the road until it ends. There are bathrooms (port-a-potties and hand washing stations) which is great if you are a little too hydrated and need to go. The path is very dusty because they have horseback riders on the path and they’ve pretty much destroyed any hard dirt. The positive here is it’s really soft and not hard on your knees or ankles. Definitely recommend!

I enjoyed the views and vistas of the Santa Monica Mountains. I hiked the trail on the 4th of July with my relative. We had an enjoyable time on the leisurely hike. It wasnt crowded. I would like to go back some day and hike up a little higher to see the ocean vistas!

Went during the midst of the super bloom. Gorgeous buy quite overgrown and some maintenance to be done after mudslides from the winter.

Beautiful in a way only the California coastal brush can be! Awesome views from the highest point, but you have to work to get there. Totally worth it!

Great spot for a hike with friends, family, or just by yourself. Trails offer excellent views of the Pacific Coast and other areas around.

Review №31

IIts definitely a great hiking spot.The trailhead is a large dirt parking lot at the north end of Bonsall Drive. So I hiked this trail with some friends round a year ago . This is a great trail for beginning hikers. Not crowded. Not too hard We went on the shorter loop hike starting on Zuma Canyon Trail, up Canyon View Trail and back down the Ocean Trail. There is a bit of an uphill as you zigzag up the ridge, but the payoff in terms of the view is well worth it. Also its better if you go up the Canyon trail first, and come down the Pacific Ocean on your hike down for the best of both worlds. You should grab a map and pay attention on the signs. It can be a little confusing on your first time. Enjoy.****

You can see the ocean while hiking, yes, but the canyon per se is not that impressive. The loop around Canyon view trail and Ocean view trail is a good workout.
