Annie’s Canyon is an incredible discovery! Tucked away at the terminus of a serene Southern California residential street, this hidden gem is a sight to behold. Cherished by locals, it’s an excellent spot for exploration. What’s more, the best thing about it is that it is free!

A short walk along the river and through the woods leads to this amazing small canyon. There is a short trail that leads to the vantage point at the top of the canyon but please don’t take the short cut!! The trail through the canyon is amazing!

It’s an easy trek, a little tight in spots, and at the end you climb up a short ladder to reach the overlook. But nothing most can’t handle, and the kids love it! Short and sweet, you might even want to do it twice!!
