Mount Rubidoux

From the Glenwood Drive entrance, the loop follows Mount Rubidoux’s paved park road through open, boulder-strewn slopes above the Santa Ana River.

It climbs past the Peace Tower and Friendship Bridge to the summit area, where the Serra Cross, flag, historic plaques, and broad Riverside views form the route’s main highlight.

The return curves down the outer hillside, with city, river, and mountain views before rejoining the lower park path.
