Embark on a moderate touring cycling adventure along the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers Trail Loop, a 33.3 miles (53.6 km) route that offers a unique blend of urban and natural scenery. You will gain 211 feet (64 metres) in elevation over approximately 3 hours and 5 minutes of riding. As you pedal, you'll see the distant San Gabriel Mountains to the north and pass through areas like the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, which features a reservoir and nature center, before reaching the Pacific Ocean at Long Beach City Beach.
When planning your visit, be aware that much of the route offers little shade, so prepare for significant sun exposure, especially in drier sections. Onshore headwinds can also build throughout the day, requiring more effort as you ride towards the mountains. The trail is almost entirely off-street, providing uninterrupted pedaling without traffic concerns, but some women riders advise against riding alone in certain northern sections.
This loop combines sections of the Los Angeles River Greenway and the San Gabriel River Trail, creating an interesting contrast between channelized river sections and areas that retain natural riparian vegetation. You will also pass through community parks and the large El Dorado East Regional Park, showcasing the diverse environments found along these important urban waterways.
