Bridle Path

I live close by so I decided to cancel my gym membership and walk/​jog over here. It’s a good 5 mile from my house to Bridle Path back and forth.

If you are not the athletic type, this is a very nice place for a stroll/​walk, and if you are, then go ahead and show off as you run uphill – huffing and puffing all the way. Not off the beaten path or secluded like some of the other local trails so there’s no need to pack a survivalist kit. It’s right smack dab in the middle of Euclid Avenue. A water fountain or two along the way if you need water, and some benches if you poop out or just want to admire some of the cool looking houses. The further north you get, the more serene it becomes. Earlier in the morning is also a better time. Pretty noisy and lots of traffic down at the south end off Foothill until you get just past 16^th St.
Our beagles enjoy this walk and don’t get weirded out by coyotes and critters that stalk us in other areas that are more like hiking trails/​wilderness. So many trees, so little time to smell and pee on! This was Ramsay’s choice for his Birfday outing this past weekend. He tagged as many trees as possible!

This is a great place to go for a walk and clear your head. My friends and I love to go in our evening walks from foothill to the top of the street. Is just an amazing place to relax. People are very friendly

I love this path and have run it dozens of time! However, I was startled yesterday by a person dressed in tree camouflage. I was running and it looked like the tree came alive and started walking towards me. I have the guy props for a good joke but if you are someone who doesn’t like to be startled then beware! :)

Great walking path for people and dogs. 6 miles round trip and a good amount of elevation change.

Love this trail! I always feels good when I walk here… it’s safe plenty of people yet not overwhelming. It’s my go to when I need a quick work out.

Love this trail! I feel safe it’s out in the open. Though you hear and see many cars go by, you become in a different place in between all the beautiful trees. They have benches and water fountains. A trolley use to run this path and city picnics were held. I always think of the history of this trail/​path. Love it!

Great location for us. If you start near foothill it is great because the grade starts easy and increases as you get to and above baseline. If you walk or run all the way to 24^th street you have put in a nice workout! Not to mention many of the homes are really nice to look at.

This is more like a walking path in the center divider. Don’t drive out of your way if you don’t live near to find out like I did…

This seems to be every one’s walking this trail in the evening. It’s near my home so we always walk this trail up and down. Going all the way up to 24^th can be an «uphill battle,» but it’s great for walking and running if you need a place for exercising with scenic views.

I had a lot of fun walking this path and looking at all the beautiful houses around it! It is nice to go very early in the morning so you don’t have to hear the sounds of moving cars (: the directions off of Unilocal take you to Arrow St. but it really is on Foothill!

What a beautiful and historic street. Euclid ave starts in Chino and runs north all the way to the city of Upland. Many years ago there was a trolly track that ran up Euclid ave, starting in Ontario and ending in Upland. It was actually all Ontario until they decided to change North Ontario to Upland. The trolly was pulled by a mule, and when the trolly reached North Ontario the mule would hop on the back and ride back down. The bridle path starts at the historic monument Madonna of the Trail. One in a series of 12 monuments dedicated to the spirit of pioneer women in the United States, and runs to the top of Euclid ending at 24^th street. The dirt path is lined with beautiful trees and beautiful houses on both sides. Anytime of the day you will see people running, walking, and pushing strollers. There are even people riding their horses on the trail. This trail is all uphill and the incline seems to increase around 21^st. Just an overall great historic trail.

Love this walk! We try to walk it at least 2 a week in the evening. Beautiful homes on both side of the path. Looking forward to our next walk.

Always a tranquil walk, the Bridle Path is a 3-​mile trail from Foothill Ave to 24^th Street, in between the N Euclid median. The trailhead is the Madonna of the Trail monument, the visibly recognized yet often ignored monument «dedicated to the spirit of pioneer women in the United States» (Wikipedia). The path aptly starts at Foothill Blvd for it graciously ascends towards the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, yet stops short. The North Euclid median is lined by Pepper trees street-​side along the entire 3 mile stretch, offering a cool shade for those afternoon runs or walks. Most people walk, some run, and a few will ride horseback. A note to runners: be keen of the path you run on because the ground is uneven, especially the first mile. It would be to the benefit of the community if the trail was tended to by the city of Upland by removing the old asphalt and leveling the trail altogether. Look no further than to the Pacific Electric trail for an exemplary trail.
A few benches line the trail and a water fountain is located at 13^th Street and 17^th Street. There are mile markers though the one mile marker was knocked over and pending a replacement. Coyotes roam in the early and late hours, but they are quick to scurry on. I prefer a morning walk along the trail because there is minimal noise pollution. Whatever the time of day, squeeze in a little physical activity along this beautiful stretch of Upland.
