DESCRIPTION:The Puente Hills Preserve consists of rugged topography\, steep hillsides and deep canyons.\\n\\n\\n\\nFor our first time visit we'll start at Sycamore Canyon. The canyon harbors some fine riparian habitat overlooked by some rather dramatic\, eroded cliffs. There are several large and twisted specimens of California sycamore trees to admire\, as well as willows\, cottonwoods\, and toyons.\\n\\n\\n\\nAfter a side trip to Dark Canyon we'll climb out of Sycamore Canyon and into Hellman Wilderness Park\, perched on a south slope of the Puente Hills overlooking the city of Whittier. It offers a quick passage via steep trail to some of the more airy vantage points.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe'll hike for about 8-9 miles with 1500-2000 ft total ascent.
