Bill Eckert Trail

Beginning just off of the start of the Mineral Wells Trail, the Bill Eckert Trail diverges to the left and heads north while climbing the hillside that can range from a gradual to steep grade. As you make your way up the slope, you'll have great views of Bee Rock and the metro area. After passing two water towers on your right, the trail will bend toward the west. Further along the trail, you'll reach the 1,000 ft. elevation mark, at which point you'll have stunning views of Burbank, Glendale, the San Gabriel Mountains, and the Verdugo Mountains. You'll quickly pass another water tower on your right before reaching Vista Del Valle Drive. The Bill Eckert Trail ends here, and you can either return to the trailhead along the same route or link up with other trails in the area.
