Connect these two trails for a 4.8-mile (round-trip) hike that meanders along Placerita Creek and passes a natural seep where white oil bubbles from the ground. Roughly 1.6 miles in, turn right into Los Pinetos Canyon. Less than a mile later, stop for a photo-op at the 15-foot waterfall (seasonal) that pours down the rock walls, then backtrack to the trailhead.
