PARADISE FALLS REVIEWS

It’s an easy walk down to Paradise Falls, and this time of year the yellow of invasive black mustard stands out. The trail is wide and easy to follow with good signage. The falls are lovely dropping into a deep pool. If you continue on the path up the creek, you’ll come to a turnoff to Little Cave, only 0.6 miles on that’s worth a look. The hike back up to parking lot takes some effort.

Paradise Falls is a moderate hiking trail that starts with an easy walk, but after about 0.4 miles, it gets a bit steep as you head down to the waterfall. It was a fun hike with the family, and along the way, there’s a cool teepee to rest in and a water fountain. Definitely a great spot for a family outing!.

An easy hike, it was my first time there and went by myself. Totally worth it.

LOS ROBLES TRAIL REVIEWS

This is my favorite place to hike! If you are a beginner then go ahead and do half of the trail. There are water fountains, a bunch of signs so you don’t get lost, there are benches on the top of the mountain, great parking too! I definitely recommend going there! And there’s also a wonderful view on The Oaks Mall!.

It's the best hiking trail with your dogs!! There's a lot of shade, and the paths are nice after the rain. We started from the other side of the trail ( it's the tail, I think), which is covered by trees and plants, so even if it's sunny afternoon, it's still cool for my golden retriever. Highly recommend!.

A wonderful area with great trails and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and communities.

ROSEWOOD TRAIL TRAILHEAD REVIEWS

Wide, well-maintained trail that starts in a nice neighborhood where there is plenty of street parking. Steady incline, view of the city along most parts of the trail, and lots of small wildlife like lizards, birds, and rabbits. Near the top, the trail splits into 3 paths: one is a short distance to a beautiful picnic table with great views; another is a steep, short climb to a bench with a view; and the third continues to other.

Great views of Thousand Oaks. Has a great trail feel for being in City limits.

Nice neighborhood trailhead with several options for hikes, short and long.
