A 70-foot waterfall, shady creekside trail, rolling hills
Near: Thousand Oaks, CA
Distance: 3 miles round trip
Elevation Gain: 400 ft
Hike Time: 1.5 hours
Difficulty: Moderate
Trail Condition: Well maintained trail
Hike Type: Loop
The first part of the trail follows Moonridge trail looking down upon Indian Creek. The trail then drops down steeply into an area if volcanic rock with a spectacular 70-foot waterfall plunging into a large pool. The return leg of the loop is an easy meandering trail along the banks of Indian Creek, with a number of lovely picnic spots along the way. I promise that you will be surprised that there is such a nice setting amongst the suburban sprawl.
