Lizard Rock, Paradise Falls, Indian Creek Loop

Moderate 5 mile round trip, with a total elevation gain/loss of about 700 ft. First to Lizard Rock by way of Moonridge Trail and Stagecoach Bluff Trail, then down (past the water treatment plant) to the stream. Not far upstream is the waterfall. Steps lead down to the pool beneath Paradise Falls, and to a picnic table in the shade of an oak tree. Continuing upstream, there is the tranquil picnic area at Little Falls - another great place to take a break. Return by way of Indian Creek Trail.

How to get there: Drive to the west end of Avenida de Los Arboles. Park in the lot at Arboles & Big Sky.
