Placerita Canyon to Walker Ranch and the waterfall

This is a very easy hike. It is suitable for beginners. The Canyon Trail is mostly flat with a few very small hills, so there is little gain on this hike. It is 2 ½ miles (one way) to Walker Ranch, and an additional ½ mile to the waterfall, for a total of 6 miles from beginning to end. The waterfall addition is optional. The falls are dry, but it is still a beautiful, shady arroyo to visit. There is some rock climbing on the waterfall trail, so good boots are essential.

Directions: Take the I-5 to the SR-14 North. Exit Placerita Canyon Road. Turn right. Go about 2 miles to Placerita Natural Area, turn in the long drive. Park near the building. We will meet on the steps of the building at 7:30 for a 7:45 departure.

Rated: Easy
