I’m 15 years old and I went to these falls with my best friend and my 4 younger siblings and my dad. It was a ton of fun! Be warned, the hike we took to get there was crazy! My little brother was terrified he was going to die. We finally got to what we […]

We took a long hike up to Forest Falls yesterday for the first time and loved it ! The falls are flowing well and the stream below is low enough to cross to see it. Be prepared to get wet ! 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please login or sign up […]

Hermit Falls is that other waterfall in the Big Santa Anita Canyon area near Arcadia. While most of the attention and traffic are for the impressive Sturtevant Falls, this waterfall seems to be…

Here is what I can only assume is called “Emerald Falls” just north of Filmore in Southern California. (In Los Padres National Forest) I think it is hands down the most impressive waterfall in all of Southern California yet its not on your list. -Matthias- 8 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please […]

Berry Creek Falls is perhaps the most well-known waterfall this close to Silicon Valley. While the falls deservedly gets lots of photo clicks and literature devoted to it due to its alluring…

Silver Falls and Golden Cascade are the series of waterfalls closer to the Sunset Trail section of the grand loop hike involving Berry Creek Falls. In fact, if you’ve come all the way…

Cascade Falls is a pretty diminutive 20ft waterfall, but it was one of the “easier” waterfall hikes we did in Marin County, and it seemed there were a lot of memorable things…

Carson Falls is another series of waterfalls (though not as extensive a series as the nearby Cataract Falls). Because it sits near the top of the…

Cataract Falls is really a long series of waterfalls and rapids starting near the Laurel Dell and eventually spilling into the man-made Alpine Lake. During our visit to the falls…

We hiked to Havasu Canyon last week. The entire trip was full of stunning scenery, but Mooney Falls was our favorite. One has to work a bit harder for Mooney Falls. It is 3-4 miles from the village. The climb to the base of the falls is challenging, but doable for a couple in our […]

I’m not sure whether this is influenced by the water level or the flash flood in 2008. When we visited Havasu Falls last week, there was a single plume of water surging over the crest. As stunning as this waterfall is, we thought Mooney Falls (a mile or so down stream) was even more impressive. […]

We hiked down into Havasu Canyon last week. You can see the travertine formations where Navajo Falls used to flow. You can also find other travertine formations where older waterfalls once flowed. This is a very dynamic place. A local news report claims there have been 14 significant flash floods in the past century. Each […]

Fish Canyon Falls maybe our favorite local waterfall. Strangely enough however, we hadn’t visited this waterfall during all the years we had been waterfalling until the Spring of 2010…

I absolutely loved the scenery of this whole hike and destination. It was very confusing to get there and we had to make a few U-Turns, but it was definitely worth the frustration of driving there. The hike was a short one, not more than a mile and a half long, and not strenuous in […]

The Canyon Trail was closed last summer when we visited, but there were still some small waterfalls upstream from McWay Falls that I could get to. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please login or sign up to comment

I agree that the California coast is a unique place in the world. I spent a couple days in the Big Sur area last summer. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please login or sign up to comment

Little Falls in the Santa Lucia Wilderness is one of those waterfalls we had to go out of our way for. For starters, we managed to visit this waterfall while lodging in Big Sur…

“Castro Canyon Waterfall” is a name I’m making up for this surprise waterfall. It’s actually on the Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn property, but you can see the lower part of the falls from…

Temescal Canyon Falls is definitely one of those waterfalls that’s so close to civilization yet is far enough into the Santa Monica Mountains to at least have some naturesque feel to it…

Private, Serene, and Magical. Our pick for the most beautiful waterfall on the Big Island. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please login or sign up to comment
