Whiskeytown Falls
Whiskeytown Falls was said to have been one of the “re-discovered” waterfalls as it was not widely known to the general public for about 40 years. Apparently, it had been “lost” since 1964 when…
Dawn Falls
Dawn Falls was kind of an unusual waterfalling experience for us in that it was nestled in a part of Marin County where there were numerous high-priced residences built amongst towering coastal…
Sonoma Creek Falls
Sonoma Creek Falls was kind of our waterfalling excuse to explore part of the famed Bay Area wine country of Sonoma and Napa Valley. In particular, this waterfall was in Sonoma County as part…
Feather Falls
Feather Falls was certainly one of the most impressive waterfalls we’ve seen in the state of California outside of Yosemite National Park. Typically waterfalls with this much volume and size would…
Grouse Falls
Grouse Falls was a waterfall that we were willing to drive a bit out of the way for. In fact, it seemed like not many people make it out here given that we were the only people pursuing this…
Rush Creek Falls
Rush Creek Falls was one of the more unique waterfalling excursions that we’ve been on. Something very unique about the trail reaching the falls was that it was said to be wheelchair accessible…
Uvas Canyon Waterfalls (Granuja Falls, Black Rock Falls, Upper Falls, Basin Falls, Little Falls, and Lower Falls)
The Uvas Canyon Waterfalls page is where I’m describing at least five waterfalls all within close proximity to each other as part of the Waterfalls Loop Trail in Uvas Canyon County Park. While none…
Triple Falls
Triple Falls was kind of the lone wolf waterfall within the boundaries of the Uvas Canyon County Park mostly because it was a bit out of the way in Alec Canyon compared to the other six waterfalls…
Castle Rock Falls
Castle Rock Falls really seemed to us like a sideshow compared to some of the other attractions that were on offer at the Castle Rock State Park – namely the interesting rock formations as well as…
Buckhorn Falls

Falls Canyon Falls (“Hidden Falls”)
Falls Canyon Falls (also known as “Hidden Falls”) was an elusive waterfall that nearly defeated us as I’m sure it probably had many others. In fact, we weren’t even aware of the existence of this…
Bailey Canyon Falls

Cottonwood Creek Falls
Cottonwood Creek Falls was a series of small waterfalls hidden away in the desert-like terrain near Pine Valley well downslope of Mt Laguna. While you may look at the photo at the top of this page…
Jack Creek Falls
Jack Creek Falls was a bouldery waterfall that appeared to require some precise timing in order to see it perform. In our case, we thought that a series of saturation storms in the span of a…
San Juan Falls
San Juan Falls was one of those waterfalls that we had overlooked in all the years of waterfalling the Southland. Part of the reason why we hadn’t bothered to visit this waterfall for all these…
“Cold Creek Falls”
“Cold Creek Falls” was one of those obscure waterfalls that felt to us like it was our own little private waterfall to enjoy in seclusion. This seclusion and tranquility was even more amazing…
Seven Falls
Seven Falls were a series of small waterfalls and punchbowl-like pools that definitely had that reputation of being one of the most popular spots in Santa Barbara. Indeed, it seemed like the…
Etiwanda Falls
Etiwanda Falls was one of those waterfalls that Julie and I had previously overlooked over the years even though it wasn’t far from places like Bonita Falls and San Antonio Falls. But as we were…
Onion Valley Waterfalls
The Onion Valley Waterfalls are what I’m dubbing the series of cascades draining the many lakes of Onion Valley between Kearsarge Pass and Independence. They were merely my waterfalling excus…
