Description
The Hidden Valley trail can be reached from the Hidden Valley trailhead or Arroyo Dr. trailhead. It is a moderate climb through scrub oak and pine to the intersection with Graben's loop. There are many spur trails on the lower portions of the trail, so generally stick to the most well-used trail.
