Santa Paula Canyon & Punch Bowls Trail

6.5mi and 895 Elevation Gain

Hey y all, This time, we ll be doing the Punch Bowl trail in the beautiful Santa Paula Canyon. I ve never done this one, but it was requested by a fellow member the other week, so I m putting it on the board.

A moderate little hike takes us into the Topa Topa Mountains and has us ending at a waterfall. Given the lack of moisture, I m not getting my hopes up for this waterfall, but you never know.

Nearing the 2.7-mile marker, we should see a short stint of steep hiking, but it appears to only last about a 10th of a mile or so. Check out the link below to learn more about the trail.

Notes:
1) Be sure to bring plenty of water given the time of year and snacks if you need them.
