Turnbull Canyon, Natural canyon in Puente Hills, California, US.
The canyon spans 4 miles with a creek at its base, surrounded by sycamore trees, coastal sage, and diverse native grasses along its slopes.
Robert Turnbull, a Scottish immigrant, purchased the canyon in 1870 to raise sheep before selling it back to Whittier Quakers in the 1880s.
The Tongva indigenous people inhabited the region before Spanish colonization, leaving traces of their presence throughout the canyon landscape.
The main trailhead operates from 9 AM to 6 PM during summer and 9 AM to 5 PM in other seasons, with additional parking at Beverly Boulevard.
The canyon reaches an elevation of 242 meters and provides views of both the San Gabriel Mountains and Santa Monica Mountains on clear days.
