This was the second of two hikes on Friday. The rain that had been drenching me earlier seemed to have dissipated enough that I thought I could get this short hike in. Trail was located next to a fire station with minimal, but free parking. The trail starts behind the buildings. Self guided nature walk with about 10 signs talking about the vegetation and the surrounding area. Easy trail to do. Took me past an old mine, a "Penny Plantation" (a small grove of pine trees that had been planted back in the 1950's. Sadly, it looks as if a good portion of them have died recently (bark beetle?) and the grove had lost some its luster.), and a memorial for firefighters. I was able to do the hike without getting wet and it was nice to finish at least one trail that day.

A little confused. There are two El Cariso Nature Trails shown on HAZ. I have a feeling that they are redundant. I went with this description since it had a write up and gps route that matched mine.

Trail is a loop that starts and ends at El Cariso fire station off highway CA-74. Parking is free. One of the small fire station buildings has been converted to a visitor center that is open sometimes, but it was closed on Sunday. Trail is 'self-guided' meaning there are little placards along the trail with some info mostly on regional vegetation. At 1.0 mi from the start there is a side trail to the firefighters memorial. You can returned from it to the trail either by going back the same way to the junction (as the route shows) or by exiting the parking lot, turning left on S Main Divide Road, in about a hundred yards turning right to the trail.
