The view from the platform is great, but if you want the true experience, you need to climb down to the bottom of the falls. Looking toward the platform, go left and you'll find the trail. It is rather steep in some areas, and you must partially rappel to get down. But he base of the falls is absolutely stunning and definitely worth the work.

This hike is relatively short and you can reach the summit in 45 minutes. Once there, the bald opens up to provide tons of space to spread out and enjoy the views. Would recommend

Max Patch is a favorite of many people in the area as an easy getaway. The road up the mountain take you to a parking lot near the top for a short hike to the summit. At the top, there are 360-degree views and plenty of room to spread out and have fun. I would recommend bringing lunch, a good book, or a football or soccer ball. Definitely a great place to go.

This hike is on a mountain in the middle of downtown Riverside and is a great way to get away from the city. It's pretty easy since it's paved, and it only took me about 30 minutes to get to the top. There are many people on it, but don't worry, there's plenty of room at the top to spread out. There are 360 degree views of Riverside and the surrounding suburbs, and it's a great place to hang out. I would definitely recommend this hike.

At 8 miles round trip, this hike can be long for some people. However, the view is absolutely stunning with around 300 degrees of visibility. I recommend going early to beat the crowds, as I made it to the Bunion around noon, and saw over 40 people heading up on my way back.
