Santa Paula Canyon Trailhead (Punchbowls)

Beautiful place to hike. Be ready for lots of big rocks. Also the arrows painted on the trail rocks can be misleading and send you down very difficult paths/dead ends, use your best judgement before following. If you're planning to do this hike and bring a dog, please keep them leashed. 2 dogs got into a fight on the trail because both were unleashed.

Had an amazing time hiking up the trails. You will cross the creek multiple times. It can be a little extreme, but it is well worth it. It took us 2hrs and 45 mins to get to the waterfall, but we did a couple of stops for puctures. There are blue and pink dotted rocks along the way for you to follow to the waterfall. We took a different trail coming back down to the base. When you get to the waterfall, go to the right up a little then you will go up a hill to the right and you will walk down the mountain. The views were beautiful. When you get to the end of it, you will meet the creek again. It took us 2 hrs and 10 mins to get back down.

Great hike and dog friendly! Little difficult for tiny dogs and definitely requires a lot of jumping/pulling self up rocks. I was so proud of our little poochy!! Also lots of fresh water and great punchbowl at the end! Would recommend for sure
