Southern California may primarily be known for its sandy beaches and palm trees, but for those of us who call SoCal home, we also know it has some pretty epic forest and mountain settings as well.
If you thrive on exploring new destinations in Southern California then we are pretty certain you'll love heading out on this hike that offers up picturesque scenery in a forest setting.
Located in the Angeles National Forest, the Big Pine Nature Trail will delight you with its lush forested setting that is right out of a storybook.
This trail is truly short and sweet. Clocking in at less than a half-mile long, a loop around the Big Pines Nature Trail may be just what you need to for a refreshing dose of nature.
Although the trail is an easy one, you'll want to be aware of the stairs that need to be navigated along the hike.
With massive pine trees lining the trail, you'll be enveloped in a magical canopy of trees as you head out on the hike.
There's no question that the scenery is stunning. But what we also love about Big Pines Trail is that it's a perfect place for beginning hikers looking for an easy introduction to hiking.
And with a natural setting like this, you won't be disappointed in the beauty that awaits you.
