PS - Hike: Chino Canyon to Ramon Rd via North Lykken Trail

After a steep but short climb, we descend to a relatively flat section below the ridge line overlooking Las Palmas Dam and the neighborhoods of Vista Las Palmas and Old Las Palmas.  Then it’s a gradual climb, positioning us directly above the O’Donnell Golf Club.  From there, we’ll make a longer and much steeper climb for a  break at the picnic tables at the end of the Museum Trail.  The last section of the hike will be the gradual descent to Ramon Road.
