Bane Ridge - Chino Hills State Park
About This Trail
Chino Hills State Park has a large trail system, with several peaks. It is also known for gorgeous purple, orange, and yellow flowers during Super Bloom years (when there is a heavy rainfall and an extraordinary number of flowers). Bane Ridge is one of the better trails to experience what Chino Hills has to offer.
After entering the park, follow Bane Canyon Rd until just after it merges into Telegraph Canyon Rd/ a large right turn. Follow the dirt road on the right into a large dirt staging area. The trailhead is at far end of the parking lot.
Follow Upper Bane Ridge down through the valley and over hills for as long as you like and return the same way. It does connect to other trails and can be made into a longer loop.

My name is Nicole Dominick, and I’ve been hiking with Hike it Baby since May 2016 with my daughter. She is now 4.5 years old and has hiked over 400 miles! She has been carried for most of those miles, but we enjoy every journey. We were both born and raised in Southern CA but now live in Colorado Springs, CO.
