Sam Merrill Trail (Lake Ave. & Loma Alta) Altadena , CA 91001 United States
On a hot day, the uphill climb is rough, but the historical points of interest at the old hotel site were worth it! Pee before you leave home; no bathroom at trailhead.
Excellent hike that leads to inspiration point or mt Wilson bring water and snacks
Easy trail (moderate if you're out of shape). Crowded on weekends.
Great trail with lots of history. Can get very crowded on weekends.
Awesome trail , but it was soooo hot today, a little tough on our Dobie since there is little shade.
GREAT hike . Take your dog for a good home.
Continue past the hotel up the Loew Rail Trail . Hard to believe but even more spectacular views .
1 hour 20 mins to get to the top... 40 mins back down!

Good beginner hike, ~5.4 miles round trip. Popular. Free street parking, dog friendly (leashed), great view. Ocean & Catalina visible on clear days. Continue up to Inspiration Point for a longer hike. - Randy Clemens
Awesome 2 hr hike. Great view when it's clear. Old railroad and hotel history at the top! - Christine Mossman
