Burney Falls was hands down the most spectacular waterfall we encountered on our trips to the far north of California. Not only did this waterfall have fairly impressive dimensions at 132ft…

As you can see from the photo above, Potem Falls could have easily been its own major waterfall attraction complete with picnic area, parking lot, signs, and the like. After all, it featured an…

Hatchet Creek Falls (also known as Lions Slide Falls) was one of those waterfalls that we really had to earn with a few scrapes along with bumps and bruises thanks to a fairly uncomfortable scramble..

Mud Creek Falls as well as the neighboring Croquette Falls were pretty much the only waterfalls that we witnessed on the slopes of the impressive Mount Shasta. While we were aware of Whitney Falls…

What we’re referring to as McCloud Falls was really a series of three major waterfalls on the McCloud River – Lower Falls, Middle Falls, and Upper Falls. The Lower Falls was really more of a wide…

Mossbrae Falls had to have been one of our more unique waterfalling experiences in almost every sense of the word. Not only was the waterfall itself different (as you can see from the photo at the…

Hedge Creek Falls was the other main waterfall attraction in Dunsmuir. Unlike the more tense Mossbrae Falls experience, this was quite literally a short walk in the park leading to a pleasant…

Anyways, after climbing then going around a bend where there was that familiar view of Mono Lake, we could now see that Mono Lake was essentially one big haze with the lake hardly being able…

Whiskeytown Falls was said to have been one of the “re-discovered” waterfalls as it was not widely known to the general public for about 40 years. Apparently, it had been “lost” since 1964 when…

Feather Falls was certainly one of the most impressive waterfalls we’ve seen in the state of California outside of Yosemite National Park. Typically waterfalls with this much volume and size would…

Grouse Falls was a waterfall that we were willing to drive a bit out of the way for. In fact, it seemed like not many people make it out here given that we were the only people pursuing this…

Rush Creek Falls was one of the more unique waterfalling excursions that we’ve been on. Something very unique about the trail reaching the falls was that it was said to be wheelchair accessible…

According to our GPS, we only had around 5-6 miles to go, but soon the weather continued to deteriorate from hail to heavy snow flurries. Now, things were getting serious, and it eventually got…

The Uvas Canyon Waterfalls page is where I’m describing at least five waterfalls all within close proximity to each other as part of the Waterfalls Loop Trail in Uvas Canyon County Park. While none…
