Arroyo Seco to Switzer Falls
Angeles National Forest Locate the trailhead. Fellows who claim to have hiked it before claimed Arroyo Seco connects with Switzer trail for a total of about 8 miles of hiking. The sign at the turnoff to the bottom of the dam would seem to imply the same thing, although maybe it's 8.5 instead of 8. The map shows the trails connecting.
