It is AMAZING and breathtaking! The trail we do is, "The Beast." Passing the gate you'll eventually make it to, "Wilson Saddle Picnic Area." Please be considerate and respectful to the trail! Carry your trash back with you and watch out for mother nature's creations ❤️‍🔥

This walk was incredible green and peaceful. I would do this everyday if I could!

PROS Wide enough for trail running and mountain biking and group hikes Good incline (I did about 2.5 miles and over 400ft Elevation gain) Different loop options to explore, the Creek Trail was lovely, but it's August 2021 and dry. Tons of parking Great views Plenty of free parking (no overnight parking sadly my precious Nomads) Emergency 911 codes if you need assistance on the trail - think it's my first time seeing that. Saw a bunny tonight CONS Bit open and sunny (Nice scattered clouds today, I bet a rainy day would be lovely) Go in the late afternoon or early morning in the summer so it's not too sunny and hot, the weather was perfect when I hiked from about 6:30-8pm 8.14.21 Traffic noise a bit at the beginning and end Electric static noise from the POWER LINES, which distract from feeling the nature vibes, but if you hike in about a mile or 2 it gets more into the mountain and less surrounded by them. Dry, no water flow right now.

Awesome hiking trail! Very family friendly and not difficult at all. I hiked it with my 8 year old son and we had a blast. It wasn't a hot day, and we started around 3:45pm this week of May, but there are plenty of shaded areas to take breaks and enjoy the scenery. We followed the left trail all the way back for a bit over a mile and a half and found the creek and little waterfall. The bigger waterfall in the back takes a tiny bit of climbing to get to. Maybe 6-8 ft up some rocks. My son managed it fine, but the rocks can be slick due to weathering and water erosion. Little ones will need some help, but the smaller falls at the base are plenty interesting enough for them (full of tadpoles and water striders when we went!) if you don't want to risk them getting hurt or can't help them up and down. The round trip took us about two hours; however, we were taking our time and enjoying the sights and hung around the waterfalls for close to half an hour. There were a few other families out that we passed on our ways up and back but there was enough separation that we never felt crowded and felt like we had the area to ourselves. The were people on bikes we saw, and the trail is wide enough at the beginning that it can easily accommodate them. I think they take the middle trail once it forks, there is no way a bike is making it easily through the narrow portions of the trail to the left as it gets deeper in the canyon. There were several people walking leashed dogs that seemed to be managing well and several of the families had children much younger than my son making the trek to the falls. I didn't hear or see any signs of rattlesnakes, but we wore jean pants and hiking boots to be safe. I also recommend knowing, and teaching little ones, about how to identify poison oak. There's some growing near several portions of the trail but it's easy enough to avoid. Overall, I highly recommend this trail! We have hiked Placerita Canyon in the past and enjoyed it but my son was blown away by the waterfalls. It sparked a new interest in getting out and seeing more of nature which is just what I was hoping for!
