What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Travelers generally hold a positive view of the Chantry Flat Heliport area, primarily appreciating its natural beauty and hiking opportunities. However, sentiment is significantly negative regarding the severe parking issues experienced, especially on weekends and holidays. The area reopened in October 2024 after a four-year closure following the 2020 Bobcat Fire, bringing a renewed interest in its trails.

What Travelers Love

Scenic Views and Nature: Visitors consistently praise the beautiful views of the San Gabriel Valley and mountains, with ocean views on clear days, and the overall feeling of being immersed in nature despite its proximity to the city.
Shaded and Family-Friendly Trails: Many trails, particularly to Sturtevant Falls, offer good shade and are considered suitable for families with children, even with strollers on paved sections.
Historical Charm and Amenities: The presence of Adams' Pack Station, the last pack station in Southern California, adds a unique historical element, offering a shop and cafe, and a chance to see animals like llamas, goats, and donkeys. Public restrooms and picnic areas with grills are also available.
Waterfall Hikes: The hike to Sturtevant Falls is a popular highlight, offering a refreshing 50-foot waterfall at the end of a scenic trail alongside Santa Anita Creek.

Common Complaints

Severe Parking Issues: This is the most significant and frequent complaint. The parking lot fills up extremely quickly, often before 6 AM on weekends, and street-side parking along Chantry Flat Road is generally not allowed and may result in tickets. Securing a spot often requires arriving very early or at off-peak times. An Adventure Pass is also required for parking.
"Cardiac Hill" Return Hike: The return portion of many hikes, especially the ascent back to the parking lot, is often described as a steep and challenging uphill climb, sometimes referred to as "Cardiac Hill," which can be particularly arduous in warm weather.
Crowds: Due to its popularity, the area can become very crowded, especially on weekends, diminishing the sense of peace and solitude.
Road Closures and Access: The road to Chantry Flat can be subject to closures for safety reasons, and management of the road involves multiple entities, leading to potential access issues.

Overall, Chantry Flat offers a rewarding outdoor experience with beautiful scenery and well-maintained trails for hikers. However, prospective visitors should be highly prepared for significant parking challenges by arriving exceptionally early or considering alternative transportation options if available.
