OUR ROUTE : We will be leaving from the main parking lot on Ave. de Los Arboles, going west to Stagecoach Bluff, circle around the backside of Lizard Rock, along the ridge and down the switchbacks to the Hill Canyon Trailhead. We’ll then cross the foot bridge and follow the creek along Hill Canyon Trail to the NEW multi-million dollar “Conejo Canyons Bridge”. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it and go around the treatment plant and continue following the water upstream past Paradise Falls and turn left, going up through the shade of Indian Creek Trail, past the punchbowl waterfall and on to the cars. Estimated distance 5 miles, 1000 foot gain.
This route should avoid hiking UP exposed steep rocky trails but be sure to wear sturdy HIKING footwear for going down the loose rock and bring plenty of water.
