The Cistern Trail provides an access to the Lookout Trail from Mulholland Highway. The Lookout Trail connects Crags Road, the main trail across the park, to the southern end of the Yearling Trail. From the Yearling Trail, you slowly climb out of the grasslands up to the ridge above Malibu Creek. The eastern half of the Lookout Trail has some of the best views of Malibu Creek State Park before it comes down to connect with Crags Road.
