SUNDAY FUNDAY🌺🌳💦 Placerita Canyon and Waterfall Trail🌺🌳💦

This shady, woodsy hike traces a stream most of the way and then heads up to a seasonal falls, I can't guarantee what the current status is. It's 577 feet up, out and back. At the nature center near the trailhead, there are restroom facilities available. To reach the falls, you hike a rocky trail with some challenging incline, so make sure you have proper footwear.
