This hike is AMAZING! I was happy going through this trail with a few friends as it was quite pretty. The road up is a long one and there were a few small stream crossings. It is dog friendly so that was nice because we had a small dog with us. We mainly hike trails […]

Hello Glad to know there are waterfall lovers like myself. I am enjoying the website. I thought I would post to you a picture of a waterfall in California that is northwest of Tahoe. It is called Burney Falls. I did not see it on the web site and thought I would give you the […]

After turning right onto Tenaja road you will go through a few miles of beautiful driving. There is no fork when you get to Cleveland Forest rd (there is a small street sign on your right so you may pass it), simply make a right hand turn. From here the falls are approximately 5.2 miles. […]

“Shadow Falls” is a name I’ve made up for this surprise cascade that I happened to see during a hike out to the scenic Shadow Lake. As a matter of fact…

It is very dangerous this time of year to hike the trail to Cedar Creek Falls. We are rescuing 3-4 people a day and 3 dogs have died from careless owners hiking down with their dogs. Temps are very high and it’s very dangerous. If you have questions call the USFS San Vicente Fire Station […]

Two weeks ago I fulfilled a 60 year dream and made it to the top of Half Dome. Awed by the accomplishment as much as by the view, I stared, speechless, at the still snowcapped peaks. Then I saw Snow Creek Falls ! I couldn’t believe that I’d never seen a picture of this beautiful […]

On the border of Carlsbad and Oceanside, in north San Diego county, lies an ancient sacred place called the El Salto Falls. The Buena Creek valley once used by local tribes for spiritual ceremonies is now cement recycling factory, a shopping center and potentially 500 residential units. Nestled in between it all, literally at the […]

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…

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
