  This easy, 2.1 mile roundtrip trail is perfect for those looking for a fun and interactive way to spend the day outdoors with family. Along with the spring wildflowers and steep cliffs overlooking a small ravine boasting (during a wet season) a rushing stream, the San Juan Loop Trail also offers an interactive game play for children known as the "Agents of Discovery." This place-based, environmental education game is meant to encourage children to move as they learn, scanning QR codes throughout the trail which provide "clues" to solve the mystery of the forest. This unique and enjoyable experience is a fun new way to motivate children to learn about nature, culture, science and technology.

  Maple Springs Trailhead

  

  Distance	10 miles
  Pets Allowed	Yes
  Fees	Adventure Pass Required
  Hike/Ride Time	2 - 8 hours
  Difficulty	Easy
  Best Seasons	Year Round
  Location	31330 Silverado Canyon Road, Silverado, California 92676

  The Maple Springs trailhead provides a connection to other areas of the forest through the Santa Ana mountains. For those adventurous users, the trail, if taken long enough, can reach Santiago Peak leading down to Holy Jim Falls, adding significant distance, incline and difficulty. Though the creeks in the area are dry due to drought, recreational users will still find natural tranquility passing through oaks and sycamores, small meadows and chaparral along the way. This is a great trail for beginning hikers as the paved road is relatively flat and well manicured. This area is also used by off road vehicles, bikers, and equestrian, so please be considerate of others on the road.
