The first trail you're going to take is the Moonridge Trail. This will lead you form the parking lot deep into Wildwood Regional Park. You'll pass a teepee that's a permanent shade structure. This is one of two good spots on the route to stop and rest, so take advantage of it! From there, keep your eyes peeled for signs that point to Paradise Falls. 

Paradise Falls is a waterfall, and the biggest attraction in the park by far. Though the water is gorgeous, it's not approved for drinking or swimming. Admire the falls and get a picture or two before you continue on. There's a small picnic area near the base of the falls that makes up the second rest stop along the way. 

Continue on the Paradise Falls trail away from the falls. After hiking down the canyon and across a stream, you'll find the Indian Creek Loop trail. There is a bridge that can help you across the stream without geting your socks wet! Indian Creek Loop Trail is going to take you back to the parking lot!
