Summary: Fullerton has many urban trails throughout the city. The panorama trail provides excellent views of the city and beyond. The trail starts out in the golf course and climbs steadily up to the "view loop". the loop has vistas in all directions within a few yards of each other. As you continue down the trail, you walk though a neighborhood for a long block. Next you head further down the trail parallel to the Coyote Hills Golf course. the trail ends at Brea Blvd in a small ballpark. If you continue on to the other side of the park, the East Coyote hills trail begins. You can turn around or continue on the coyote trail for a loop hike. The East Coyote Hills trail is more of an equestrian trail, and is less scenic. Trailhead: From I57. Exit Yorba Linda Blvd and head west. Turn right at State College and left at Bastanchury. Park at Vista Park which is also the parking lot for the Summit House restaurant. Trailhead is inside the gate of the golf course just go straight.

Reviewed by Willa on 3/5/2006 Wow! I should have read this first. This was not a hike... more like a waste of time!
Reviewed by Jay on 11/23/2004 Description and maps of Fullerton trails are available at http://www.ci.fullerton.ca.us/comm_serv/parks/traillist.html This does have a good view from the top of the hill (Summit House). This area is a little bit hilly so if you are interested in getting a hill workout, this has some moderate inclines. Fullerton has more parks per capita than any other city in the US. If this trail is not to your liking, there are a number of other trails in Fullerton, described at the URL above.
Reviewed by Dan on 7/20/2004 The vistas were glorious. We didn’t make it to Brea blvd. Ran out of time and the heat at 2pm in July got to be a bit much. The equestrian trail through the housing development helped take the edge off the urban hike. The walk generated discussion with the kids about fancy houses, fountains, pre-cast stone work, plastic fence rails, the scale of oil pumps and people, golf, friendly “Guard dogs” sprinklers and evaporation, various wild plants, the heat the views, where Disneyland was, how close CSUF is etc. If I did it again I would start on Brea Blvd and build to viewpoints. The walk back would be down hill then. What great views of the city and the San Gabriel mountains. Thanks for the route.
Reviewed by Feather on 6/29/2004 Chained fences, cemented walkways and golfcarts, oh my! If you want to see nature, the closest you get is some horse poop now and then and the occasional bird or squirrel. Otherwise, it's a city walkway. Watch out for drunken golf cart drivers or people backing out of their 5-car garages, because all of these things are possible in this supposed trail. As a CSUF alumn, I'd recommend the arboretum over this sham of a nature walk. See http://www.arboretum.fullerton.edu/gardens/grdns.asp - enough said! Oh yeah, and that guy Jeff is right. THIS TRAIL IS A BIG FAT ZERO.
Reviewed by Jeff on 6/29/2004 If you want to do some hilltop house hunting or want to scope out a golf club to join, then this trail is for you! Don't forget to bring your climbing boots or practice your limbos skills cause you'll need em to get acces to this trail since the gates are chain locked. I would've given this trail a "0" if this rating system allowed. It's not worth the drive if you don't live in the area. And if you do live in the area you're better off just walking to the grocery store, the scenery is better. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
