It is scary! It is totally deserted, saw maybe 2 people in an hour. It is ugly. Mostly industrial area. The river is dirty and polluted. You see scrap metal, abandoned junk, and a few homeless people living along the trial. At the same time, there is beauty. The open unobstructed space, the water glistening, the open skies, great views sneak up of the mountains and Signal Hill... It is a weird combination of ugly industrial area with some natural life surviving among it. Go figure....but after riding it once, I can honestly say, I would never do it again unless I was with a a group of ten people. We saw a group of ten riders cycling as we were leaving and I was thinking that is the safest way to do this path. Live and learn...the nicest part was ending up at the 710 near downtown Long Beach, it looked prettier and safer. Next time, we are going to drive the car with the bikes close to that area, and ride in the safe parts. I’ve ridden that trial recently with my husband. It is scary!
