Nice little hike. Not too strenuous (I'm 74), but it was about 70 and heavily overcast. Went on a Thursday morning and there plenty of other people. Wouldn't want to try this on a typical July-August afternoon. Only complaint is lack of trail markers and would be nice to have bathrooms at the top, but that's probably unrealistic.

This was such an organized trail, the workers were so kind and I love how safe they kept it. They recycle called rocks and used as wall barriers for safety. This was the first safe and organized trail I’ve been on.

Rubidoux is a great location for a morning hike if you want to see the Riverside skyline either hiking north side or the southside will bring in a good work out.

Nice scenery easy paved trail. Must go early AM if you don’t like crowds. You don’t have to worry about parking.

Good hike but too many people with lots of pets and big strollers. Maybe an early morning walk is less busy
