The old flume itself isn't that interesting -- just overgrown rock walls -- but the views on the rest of the trail are great. You can walk along the flume a bit but it quickly becomes overgrown. Crowded on weekends, parking lot will fill midday on summer weekends, okay on weekdays. |
Park at Falcon Crest Trail lot. If you park in the free gravel upper lot, recommend walking down the street from there to the lower (paid) lot so that you don't have to finish your hike with a long uphill. You'll come out on the other side of the upper gravel lot at the end. |

Here's a 2.5 mile loop option featuring a pond: https://www.ramblr.com/web/mymap/trip/465099/1925275/ . That whole section is apparently not actually in the preserve and is in danger of being sold and developed, please see https://rescuerasmussenpond.com/ to learn how to help save it. You can also make this into an 8.4 mile route: https://www.ramblr.com/web/mymap/trip/465099/1494432/ . Note the 8.4 mile route requires going onto sidewalks for a little bit until the proper trail resumes on the other side of Meder Road, but it pays off with some outstanding views when you get to the ridge top. |
The big downside of these trails in the summer is there's almost no shade. They've planted trees to work on that, but it could be a few decades. There's a Serrano Trails map available at the EDH California Welcome Center. |
$10 paid parking lot, or free gravel parking across the bridge or other gravel pullouts (which will probably fill up really early on summer weekends). |

No official parking, and no parking on the street where the trail starts, so gotta find somewhere in the neighborhood for street parking and walk back. |
Street parking at end of Virada. |
Park at the turnout area on Snows Road, then walk past the gate onto Weber Reservoir Road (dirt road with no non-EID traffic). |
