The Hillside Wilderness Preserve is open! After shutting down due to the recent rains, the preserve is again welcoming visitors. However, signs around certain areas in the trail indicate that some soft soil is still present and not safe to be stepped on. The trail is open every day from 6 a.m. - 9 p.m. In the coming months, the City will coordinate damage repair activities where necessary to restore areas damaged during the Eaton Fire, particularly when dozer lines were installed in previously undisturbed areas

 

 

 

On February 7, 2012, the Hillside Wilderness Preserve Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Resource Management Plan (RMP) was brought before the Monrovia City Council.  The final EIR and RMP is available for review, (see documents listed below).  The following information will provide you with the progress of formalizing the access points since the City Council's adoption of the RMP in February 2012:

In 2016, the City opened over 4.5 miles of Hillside Wilderness Preserve trails providing passive recreational opportunities for the Community. There are four access points to the Hillside Wilderness Preserve that are open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday - Sunday:

  • Sleepy Hollow - Located off Norumbega Drive (West of Starlit Lane)
  • Ridgeside - Located off Ridgeside Drive, 1/4 mile north of Briarcliff Drive.
  • Cloverleaf - Located at the end of Cloverleaf Drive
  • Highland - Located at the end of Highland Place
