You push past the parked cars, boots crunching on sandy soil, and the pines of Chantry Flat close in like a cool hand. The guide fits your helmet and powers up a Specialized Kenevo; the bikes hum, eager. Gravel road unspools beneath wide tires, creek sounds rising ahead where seasonal cascades thread through Santa Anita Canyon — the water seems to dare you closer.

Gravel road unspools beneath wide tires, creek sounds rising ahead where seasonal cascades thread through Santa Anita Canyon — the water seems to dare you closer.
This two-hour outing blends easy e‑mountain biking on broad forest roads with a short guided hike to see waterfalls tucked into the canyon. The land here is part of the San Gabriel Mountains — steep, granitic slopes carved by winter runoff and wildfire cycles — and the area sits on ancestral Tongva territory, later shaped by early 20th‑century picnic resorts and logging roads that became today’s trail network.
Expect several miles of gentle to rolling grades that are ideal for first‑time e‑bike riders, with short climbs that the motor helps smooth and a final footpath section where helmets come off for photos. Wildlife is quiet but present; scrub jays call and mule deer slip through chaparral. Trails can be dusty or muddy depending on recent rains; waterfalls are at peak flow in spring.
Practical notes: arrive early for free Chantry Flat parking, bring a hydration pack and layered clothing, and mind trail etiquette on shared dirt roads. Guides provide bikes, helmets, bottled water, and basic instruction — you supply steady pedaling, attention to battery level, and a willingness to stop for the view. Two hours is brief but full: ride, hike, and leave with a compact, readable taste of the Angeles National Forest.
Yes. Guides supply electric mountain bikes, helmets, and basic protective pads; bring your own preferred gloves if you like.
The ride is beginner‑friendly; riders should be comfortable riding a bike on gravel and able to hike short distances—moderate fitness is recommended.
On a typical 2‑hour tour most time is on 2–6 miles of forest roads at a relaxed pace, with a short 0.3–1 mile guided walk to waterfall viewpoints.
Tours may be canceled or rescheduled for heavy rain, muddy unsafe trails, or high fire risk; check provider policies and arrive prepared for changing conditions.
