Los Liones Cyn Trail

The panoramic views from Malibu to Palos Verdes that await us at the top are as blue as far as the eyes can see.
But don’t think this trek to Parker Mesa is a walk in the park. We’ll start out with a steep climb up the canyon via a sometimes-shaded single track trail, connecting to a fire road that offers up our first glimpse of the ocean. We’ll stay on the fire road the rest of the way, with the ooh-and-ahh views continuing to the overlook at the top. We’ll play musical chairs for places on the few benches there (singing “Blue Moon” of course) and take a break for our brunch-with-a-billion-dollar views, before returning back the way we came.

Lizard Rock Wilderness Trail and Paradise Falls

Paradise Falls (also referred to as Wildwood Falls) is a lovely 40ft waterfall in the canyons of Wildwood Park in the Thousand Oaks area. It's a short 2.4-mile return hike from the official car park to the falls and back. There's actually a variety of trails you can take to after the waterfall. This is the loop that has a wide variety of sights. You follow Moon Ridge Trail down a narrow path zig-zagging your way down towards Indian Creek.  There is a bridge and several stairs on your way. As you climb the hills you are led up to a teepee. The trail descends some steps right down to the base of the falls.  The view of the falls is a little blocked by a protruding rock but you may be able to scramble through the creek and get a better look. Then following the trail up leads you to Lizard Rock. Also Passing by spur trail leads you to an attractive cave. Follow Stagecoage Bluff Trail to take you through the loop and you will see the residential area on your way to the parking lot. Finally, if you're looking to find something about the Paradise Falls it was featured in the heartfelt movie UP (only it was animated and was Paradise Falls from Brazil)
