The Huntington Chinese Garden - Garden of Flowing Fragrance

Garden

👍👍 This place is incredible! I’m so blown away by the size of the Chinese garden and the details of the landscaping. This is probably the best Chinese garden I’ve visited outside of China. After showing my family in China these pictures, they all had thought I took a trip back to China! Needless to say...

Mount Wilson Trail Park

Park

👍👍 This is an awesome trail for medium to high skill hikers. However, I brought my wife and ten year old son who are not hikers. They walked 3 miles up and back with no issues. It has beautiful views and no meters to park. The longest trail is 8.6 miles. Our dog was excited. Got to keep him on a leash...

Millard Falls

Park

👍👍 Unexpected fun find. Don't forget your adventure parking pass, you'll need it. It's pet friendly. If you park towards the top of the mountain the trailhead will be apx 100 yards away. Keep an eye out for the Millard Falls sign and follow. Eventually you'll arrive at the Millard campground (great spo...

Inspiration Point Interpretive Site

Hiking area

👍👍 Great hike - 8.8 miles out and back (I believe about 7 miles round trip if you are only going to the site, but I took a little detour). The parking areas were full because cars were parked far apart, but too small to squeeze in, I parked a little down the road on a turnout. You will need an Adventur...

Flint Canyon Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 This trail is awesome. A short half mile hike to the top of the mountain which takes about 12 to 15 minutes. The hills are easy to hike for young and old. I do suggest that you wear hiKing shoes with good traction since the paths are dirt and sand. The best part of this trail is a lot of trees and s...

Desert Garden

Botanical garden

👍👍 This garden looks other worldly. It was easily my favorite garden at Huntington. People that work on film sets might find it blasé as my companion, in response to my amazement, was like “oh yeah you don’t work on sets”. Me mockingly “Ooooo I’m so cool, I worked on sci-fi movies”. Which is cool, but...
