10 Waterfalls you MUST SEE in Southern California

California is full of waterfalls, but the dry Southern California climate often makes people forget that they are there. I set out to explore many of the best waterfalls in Southern California after a recent rain and made this list to share 10 of the ones I visited with you. These are just a small fraction of the available waterfalls in Southern California and be sure to let me know what I left off in the comments!

I did the hike to Black Star Canyon Falls a few years ago during summer. The falls were dry, but it was still a fun hike. The falls were still impressive dry, and must be amazing when flowing.

I highly recommend the Etiwanda waterfall. It’s a pretty easy uphill hike but the waterfall is very pretty.

My favorite waterfall is Escondido Falls because it’s one ☝️ that I will take a lot of pictures of it’s so beautiful 😍

This is a pretty good list. With all the rain we've had in so cal there's no better time than now to see these falls

[wanderlust]

Escondido, for sure a favorite! I was born in San Diego and raised in Los Angeles. I relocated 26 years ago in my mid-thirties, to the mid-Atlantic region. I am saddened to see all the graffiti on the rocks! Such defacing of beautiful spots within the Californian terrain!

With the amount of rain we've been having, the trail/fire road along the West Fork of the San Gabriel River has many waterfalls.

hey there, thanks, great coverage. 3 sisters has been in the news of late, partly due to popularity and recent rains. Be careful, you guys, DG

I’ve been to all of them & The Hemet waterfalls are by far the best in socal after a good rain. At the base of idylwild mountain. You have 5 different waterfalls that fill up a pool that’s deep enough that you can cliff dive each pool. With a 70ft water fall at the top.

Bonita falls was /is the best hike. But after 2014 EVERYONE IS THERE. EVERYONE!

I feel like your missing better ones . Have you been up to forest falls ? The have up to 6 individual water falls and very hard to get too . Have to go to the sheriff station before going up incase you don't make it back 😮

[halesargent]

Feminists ruined the second ones with all the graffiti....

[datadoesdorian]

Why do people graffiti? It's so dumb

Have you ever been to Big Falls in the San Bernardino mountains? Im new to hiking and not in shape and it was a very easy hike to get to. You can view the upper falls but no longer can go up there. The lower falls are pretty cool as well.
