Lundy Canyon Waterfalls
The Lundy Canyon Waterfalls page was my homage to the myriad of waterfalls that we’ve seen in the scenic Lundy Canyon. There wasn’t a specific signature waterfall that we targeted on the times…
Leavitt Falls
Leavitt Falls was an attractive multi-tiered waterfall that was essentially a roadside stop. The first time we came up here, we took Dad’s now-defunct MPV up here from Mammoth, which struggled…
