Canyon Falls was the unfortunate overshadowed neighbor to the gorgeous McWay Falls as they share the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. That said, its “unfortunate” location may also be fortunate if…

Cooper Canyon Falls was a waterfall that was quite close to the LA Basin as the crow flies, but it was actually one of the more distant ones we’ve visited. Getting there involved a fairly long drive

Switzer Falls was one waterfall that kind of became an exercise in frustration when it came to satisfactory experiences. You see, we’ve typically seen this waterfall in low flow…

Trail Canyon Falls is probably the prettiest local waterfall I’ve seen. However, even for a local waterfall, it takes a little work to see this little beauty…

Millard Falls was a local waterfall that really felt like one of the more family-friendly adventures when it came to waterfalling in the Southland. Not only was the hiking short and the terrain…

Rose Valley Falls was perhaps one of the easier waterfalls that we’ve visited, especially when it was near the rugged expanse of the Sespe Wilderness north of Ojai. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising…

Havasu Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. It tumbles some 90ft in a pair of plumes as they plunge off travertine cliffs into turquoise pools below…

Rancheria Falls was a surprisingly popular waterfall in the heart of the Sierra National Forest near Huntington Lake. Given how out-of-the-way it was from the typical Yosemite route via Fresno…

Sentinel Falls drops over 2000ft in several steps with Sentinel Rock watching over it. Only in Yosemite does a waterfall like this get a ho hum response from visitors.
