DISTANCE: 1.54 miles
ELEVATION GAIN: 499 ft
TIME: 25 minutes
DIFFICULTY: Easy
HOW TO GET THERE:
Oakmont Park is located in Redlands, Calif. It easy to locate via Google maps.
TRAIL CONDITION:
Well used hard-packed dirt trail.
NOTABLE TRAIL FEATURES
Several different paths or loops can be traveled from the Oakmont Park ranging in distance from 1.5 miles to 3.2 miles. All paths deliver great views of Live Oak Canyon. Dogs are allowed on the trail as long as the remain on a leash.
I really enjoyed this short loop through the Oakmont trail system. I ran the loop a couple times and really enjoyed the flat start in the park under the oaks.
The natural surface trail climbs quickly up the adjacent hillside with a couple of switch backs.
From his point you quickly reach a trail junction near the top the hill. I stayed right and continued Northwest to complete the shortest loop in the Oakmont trail system. At you near the highest point on this hillside you can look to the West and see the parking lot where it all began.
After a short distance the trail will be interrupted by a paved road: Silverleaf Court.
After taking a right on Silverleaf Court you will arrive at Ashforth Drive. A right on Ashforth Drive followed by another right on Sutherland Drive will lead you back to the Oakmont parking lot.
