It's definitely the hardest hike I have done. We started in the community park, and it was alright at first, but near the end, the trail basically went vertical with tons of rocks. You should only do this hike if you're good with rock climbing a tough scrambling.
Great hike straight up. Stair steppers, but skipping a step or two all the way up 😅 great workout 💪
Good hike. Steepest hike in Canyon Hills and definitely has the best views. You can see Canyon Lake and Lake Elsinore (in the distance). I recommend coming up the hill from the steep end and taking the trail behind it which leads into the forest by the park. It's a steep hike, but will take most hikers only 15 minutes to hike. It's a great spot to go to for the 4th of July for watching fireworks.

A hard climb up the south face of Dragon Peak, starting at the Community Park up to the flag at the summit. It took me close to an hour. I took the "easy" way down the western trail leading to Railroad Canyon Road. Finally, I walked the Canyon Jungle trail back to the park. Be sure to wear good hiking boots with high traction soles and bring a water bottle or canteen. Start early in the morning or early in the evening to avoid the heat. A great way to spend a couple hours. Fine scenery. Worth it!
Apparently I went up the wrong way lol, im always at the park and decided to try it out.. really nice view, maybe next time I'll go through the trail and end it with the steep side. Still was an awesome workout and worth it 💪😁
It is a great place for a hike, not a long trail but with a very steep ending, try to bring confortable shoes and water. Also try not to fall you could go down hill rolling.
Consider also the way down may be hard on your knees too.
I loved it and my dogs loved it too.

Good hiking trail, a little steep at the end. Great views. American flag makes for some good pictures!
Didn’t make it to the top where an American flag flies and the views are said to be the bomb but... got part way up and each turn of the sometimes vague path gave out to a beautiful view. My hiking partner’s legs gave out. In her defense she is barely 3 feet tall and the weeds were taller than her. Had a good day and the park next door had room to run off the last of her energy... Great place to hike.
