The Cove Wash Trails at the Santa Clara River Reserve are multi-purpose trails and a favorite with trail runners, mountain bikers, and local hikers. At the parking area, which is off a dirt road, a map shows the interconnecting paths. Trails are rated in terms of difficulty for mountain bikers but this also serves as a good indicator for hikers. As you approach the drive to the Cove Wash Trailhead, you may be thinking that this doesn't look like much of an area for hiking, but continue on and you won't be disappointed. The views out the back side of the parking area reveal a beautiful mix of rolling hills and mountains. The trails head out across flat terrain and then offer options to walk along a ridge or descend into the valley below. In the spring, the wildflowers can be spectacular. The Cove Wash Trailhead is located in Santa Clara and is a little tricky to find. Heading north on West Sunset Boulevard, turn left on Gates Lane, just before the Jacob Hamblin Home. This street begins as a paved road and then curves right, but you need to keep going straight onto the dirt road in front of you. The road climbs up a hill at the start. Further along this dirt road, a sign indicates the way to Cove Wash Trailhead.
