Turnbull Canyon, a hilly area between
the suburbs of Whittier and Hacienda Heights, is well known for its urban
legends. Rumors of Satanic rituals, KKK
meetings are well documented in other blogs such as
Other well known factual stories
include murders and an airplane crash that killed 26 passengers in 1952.
Through out the day, these hills serve
as a hiking trail to many SoCal residents.
This trail connects with two other trails: Hellsman Trail and Hacienda
Heights Trail. (Previously done in the summer of 2013) In order to hike
Turnbull Canyon you must park around Turnbull Canyon Road, and walk up towards
the entrance. Everyone is pretty much hiking towards the same direction, so you
can't get lost -- to the graffiti water tower. Overall it’s a 3.2mile loop with
steady yet heavy elevation gain of 325 feet. As you reach to very top (water
tower) you can see Rose Hills Cemetery and Downtown Los Angeles.
