This trail runs alongside the Santa Margarita River, which happens to be one of the last remaining wild rivers in Southern California. It features a pleasant, shaded environment with oak and sycamore trees. Along the way, you might stumble upon an abandoned car slowly being reclaimed by nature.

There's an old, rusted car, slowly being reclaimed by nature that you'll come across. Just something you wouldn't expect to see on a trail like this.
