The waterfall is stunning from below, and the view from the top is just as spectacular. Along the way we explored a small cave and passed two beautiful creeks. We even saw some ducks flying overhead, which made the whole hike feel even more special. After that, we hiked uphill on the Teepee Trail, stopped at Lizard Rock, and eventually made our way back to the parking lot. The views throughout the hike are wonderful and so peaceful there's nothing like disconnecting and reconnecting with nature here. Parking is free and the lot is fairly large (around 40 cars or more). There are bathrooms at the trailhead and also near the campground, which is very convenient. We ended up hiking about 5 miles. It took us 2 hours and 30 minutes of moving time, and about 3 hours total including breaks and photo stops. I highly recommend this trail if you're looking for a scenic and relaxing hike.

We hiked out to Paradise Falls, and while the view from a distance had me thinking, "That's it?"... once you get closer, it's actually beautiful. The weather was in the 80s, with the cool breeze made the hike so much more enjoyable (especially on the steeper parts). My pup had the best time too! I would've loved to let him run free, but this isn't an off-leash park. What I really loved is that there are so many different trails. Whether you're in the mood for a quick walk, a jog, or a longer hike, you'll find a route that fits. There were lots of people out enjoying the scenery, and the nearby town has plenty of cute spots to grab a bite afterward. It was such a fun outing. I would totally do it again!

It's about a 5-mile roundtrip hike. There's some tall brush that you'll have to walk through at the end so you may want to wear pants and wear hiking shoes. There are a number of different trails that can take take you here. I started from the trailhead located at the end of Falling Star Ave in Thousand Oaks. The trailhead is a little hidden. It's located off to the right at the end of a cul-de-sac. Make your way along the curvy Hidden Meadow Trail. You'll reach a fork where you will need to make a sharp right continuing uphill on Sandstone Hill Trail. After a decent incline, take a left at the fork and continue to head in an uphill direction. The trail eventually dead-ends at a power line transmission tower. From there you will see the arch high up on the mountain. You'll then probably say to yourself, fogettaboutit! But it's actually not as hard as it appears. There's a small path marked by a cairn. You will need to power your way up the hill. The trail is well-marked but really overgrown with tall dry brush. When you get to the top head left. The trail will lead you to the backside of the arch. Be sure to spend some time reading the short messages and view the various trinkets left by behind by people. Relax in the cool shade. Climb on top of the arch and appreciate the views. I really liked the inspirational message someone wrote. "Hope you find your peace and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings...Push through the pokey brush and trust your instincts carving a path."

Trail can be accessed of Lindero Canyon Road between King James Court and Wembly Avenue. According to All Trails, this hike is a moderately challenging route due to a steady uphill climb to the peak which is an elevation gain of over 1,000 feet high. This loop provides expansive views, cool rock formations (including partial caves for pictures) and various plants. Springtime is a great time to check out this hike with the bountiful plants in full view. On the trail, you can commonly see wildlife including snakes and lizards. Mind you the snakes blend in well- so be on the lookout. During springtime you will see baby snakes abound. As the trail is not shaded- bring plenty of water, a good hat, and put on some suntan lotion! Happy Hiking!

There is major construction, possibly of houses, at the recommended location to access this trail…read more I walked around for 20 minutes trying to find it. Then, when I found it, it was quite small, and narrow, and not of interest in the searing heat, especially with rattlesnakes right now. I would not have been able to see what was on either side of my feet with tall grass or brush. On the plus side (or negative side depending on how you feel about wildlife), several deer bolted out of the brush when I was walking around trying to locate this trail. Overall, I wasted a couple of hours trying to find this place and what I found (after searching around), was not worth it. Maybe that is the idea, so it stays wild. I should add that the pic with the wide looking road is where they are doing construction, not the trail.
