There are several options here, and all the trails are great, but here is my
favorite. From the trailhead, climb the dirt road up until you reach the first
picnic shelter. Take the trail, not the road, from this shelter, which will
eventually hit a double track. Taking this double track right will be a short
ride and take you back to the trailhead (you pass this double track on your
climb.) Take a left on this double track a short way until you reach several
trails leading away where the double track ends. Take the trail on the
slight right, which winds a bit all the way down into the canyon, where it
meets another double track (going right.) Keep your eyes open for a single
track coming off this double track (if you hit pavement, backtrack a bit...) to
the left. Follow the one-way signs all the way down, through a dry (mostly)
creek bed, under a concrete overpass, and take the steep, short hill up to
the parking lot. From here, take Highland drive again to the left with a
good climb on a paved road to reach the trailhead where you parked.
For a much longer ride, keep going past the first picnic shelter to the
second, and enjoy the falls. There are tons of other trails back there and
they all eventually lead down and out of the canyon at mostly the same
points.
