Diamond Bar Center Loop

The Diamond Bar Center Loop is one of several loop paths exploring a hilly landscape perched overlooking Diamond Bar and the surrounding areas.

At 1.6 miles with very accessible parking, the trail follows a clear and maintained wide gravel track as it passes by several benches and interpretive signs placed along overlook points, as well as descending into a shady glen with a seasonal stream that feels far distant from the suburban Los Angeles environment that it is set in. 

Sandstone formations and prickly pear clusters stand out among the trailside, and views from the exposed higher points are the highlight of this hike. There are a few forks with other adjacent loop trails - cel service tends to be good here to pull up a mapping app and see the additional distance that exploring another path would add.

The trail is generally easy, though there are a few steep sections and wooden staircases. This hiking area is well maintained and easily accessible and tends to be popular for those looking to get out and explore a cross section of nature in the midst of the area's development.

This trail system is open daily from an hour before sunrise to a half hour after sunset. Parking is plentiful in the lots surrounding the Diamond Bar Center building.
