    Route Description for Paradise Falls Hike

    The Paradise Falls Hike is a fairly easy-going outdoor adventure; however, there are a few things to take into consideration before setting out. You will want to make sure that you wear comfortable hiking shoes, as some sections of the trail can be a bit rocky/uneven. Additionally, you will want to wear appropriate clothing and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun, as there is not much shade along the trail.

    Featuring a relatively short overall distance and scenic terrain, the Paradise Falls Hike makes for a great outing if you are looking to take in the natural beauty of Southern California. Several picnic areas can also be found along the trail, which are ideal for taking a break from the extensive network of trails found in Wildwood Regional Park.

    Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way west along the Mesa Trail for 0.6 km and turn left at the fork in the path. Here, you will begin hiking south along the North Teepee Trail, following it for 0.6 km to reach a junction.

    Turning right here, you will follow the Teepee Trail for 0.8 km to a junction, where you will turn left to meet up with the banks of Arroyo Conejo. At this point, the trail will turn back to the east through Sycamore Flats to reach the viewpoint for Paradise Falls.

    Take your time here to rest and experience the beautifully scenic views of the cascading waterfall, before continuing on with the remainder of your hike. Following the trail north for a short distance, you will eventually turn right onto the Teepee Trail, keeping left along it for 0.3 km to arrive at another junction.

    Turning right at the fork, you will make your way across a stream, following the Moonridge Trail to the northeast to eventually arrive back at the trailhead head where you began your adventure.
