Description

From the junction with the Chapparell Crest Trail, this trail descends along Wills Creek to the mouth of the canyon. A bench affords nice views of the Ventura River watershed. After you cross Canal Road, the trail passes an intersection with the Orange Grove Trail and ends shortly after at a junction with the West River Trail and Willis Crossover Trail.
