Waterfalls in California
California Waterfalls dot the Golden State in terrain as varied as mountains to deserts to coastlines and volcanoes. It’s this diversity that makes California a great place to live as well as visit.
California is blessed with beaches, rugged coasts, mountains, deserts, forests, cities, you name it. Of course, the comfortable climate draws people from around the world – regardless of whether they plan to live here or visit. The result is one of the most open-minded and ethnically diverse places in the world.

Being a resident of Los Angeles most of my life, I have been fortunate to see and experience much of this variety. However, I must honestly say that it wasn’t until my mid to late 20s did I truly start to open my eyes and see what I had been missing most of my life – the waterfalls!
The catalyst of it all began with a few trips to see waterfalls in our local area. Now, with the help of my wife, we have visited a fairly large collection of waterfalls throughout the state, and we’re eager to share them with you in this section.
Even though we think we’ve seen quite a few of the waterfalls in the Golden State, there are many more that are out there. We hope to be fortunate enough to see most of them within our lifetime, but that is going to be a tall order…

I recall the absolute serenity and the breath taking beauty!

The water at that time was deep and the waterfall was flowing. He went to jump over the falls and lost his footing on the moss and went down the falls facing outward. He landed face down in the water and broke both… ...Read MoreShare your thoughts about what you’ve read on this page
