What to expect on Santa Ana River Trail – Santa Ana River Trail Bikeway loop from La Quinta High School
This route takes you along the Santa Ana River Trail, a predominantly paved bikeway that offers a varied journey. You'll find smooth asphalt, often wide enough for two riders, making it ideal for road bikes. While much of the trail is flat, be prepared for moderate climbs, especially when heading inland from the coast or on the return trip from areas like the Honda Center towards Green River. The scenery shifts from natural riverbanks with vegetation and birds, particularly around Yorba Regional Park, to more urban and industrial stretches. It's a ride that suits cyclists who appreciate long distances and a mix of environments.
Planning your visit
The Santa Ana River Trail is generally accessible, but it's important to note that specific details for a loop directly from La Quinta High School are not widely published, so you may need to use local roads to connect to the main trail. The trail benefits from numerous grade-separated intersections, allowing for long, uninterrupted rides without stopping for traffic. Strong headwinds can be a factor, especially in the afternoons, so an earlier start might offer more comfortable conditions. Check for any current construction closures, as sections of the trail can be impacted until July 2026.
