    ["Absolutely beautiful. Water is flowing like crazy right now!! Such a treat and a pleasure. High traffic at the start of the trail but became less and less crowded the further in we went. Follow the trail all the way towards the bridge. Flowers everywhere! Saw a water snake, lizard, and a GIANT grasshopper ! Highly recommend this while the rainy season is here and still active :))",null,[0,235]]

    ["Trail is flat, but sometimes you have to go through the rocks. Many stones are on the path. Waterfalls aren\u2019t so big, but pretty. Many people with dogs. And parking is free, so you can have some troubles with it",null,[0,211]]

    Love this trail; not too difficult yet a good workout. It leads to a nice waterfall that is enjoyed as long as there's been enough rain. Hard to believe it's so close to the freeway. Hidden oasis.
