Placerita Canyon Nature Center

In Placerita Canyon several trails fan out from the nature center, many connected to each other. We started on the tiny hillside trail that quickly climbs to a bunch of rocks, and ended up on the canyon trail that crosses multiple times the stream flowing through the canyon. While the canyon was not carpeted with wildflowers, several species were seen along the trail. Several birds could also be heard and seen, including some swallows dive bombing a pair of red-tailed hawks.

I absolutely love this place I've been coming in my whole life there is a lot to see here beautiful Trails when the mountains have snow on them they run off and water streams through placerita Cannon. I remember hearing that this is one of the first places they found gold when people were mining back in the 1800s

Great place to take the kids for a hike. Multiple trails that vary in difficulty. The nature center has a nice display of local wildlife.
