Olinda Oil Museum & Trail

Brea, CA

Free

By Simir Shah

A city-run site built around Olinda Oil Well Number One (the start of Brea's oil boom), a restored field-office museum and antique oil equipment, with a roughly 2-mile moderate loop trail above it. There's no water or cell service and poison oak beside the path, so bring water and keep little ones on the marked trail.
