Love Waterfalls no matter where they are in the world. Looks great and wish I could transport myself there and grab some nice pics. I can dream though..
I was surprised to see my home waterfall top the list! I live 20 min away from Black Star Falls outside of Trabuco Canyon. Pro Tip: when you get to the falls, climb the steep hill to your right to find a set of ropes. You can climb the ropes to the top of the hill for incredible views of the Santa Ana mountains!
Me and my dad went there yesterday he has a bad back that needed several surgeries and I’m a skinny 5”9 135lbs that never exercises and he made it up easily because he use to hike all the time in his younger days but I barely made it up mostly because I was out of breath and trying to keep up with my dad. It’s a good hike and even though it’s number 1 on this list I think it’s do able for most people of average athleticism and determination
I am impressed with this list. Where I live in the Antelope Valley, we have a seasonal waterfall. It's about 6 inches high where the water falls off the curb into the gutter. Altogether not impressive. Glad you found better ones.
Fish Canyon Falls in Azusa is one of the best, when the trail is open. Also San Antonio Falls and Stoddard Canyon Falls on Mt. Baldy . There are many others, but you chose some of the good ones.
I have been to Switzers, Eston cyn, Solstice and Millard. There’s others in Malibu. I liked the three sisters because it’s stretched. Thanks for sharing.
hello there..new viewers here...very nice uploads..reminds me of my tours around the waterfalls of Mindanao,Philippines,,,sending you a like with a smile from chicago and bukidnon,mindanao,philippines
Been going to Millard Canyon since I was a kid. We went to Trail Canyon in Tujunga after seeing this video. Great hike and great falls. Thank you for this video.
I HAVE TO GO to the Heart Rock Falls! I hadn’t heard of it befor this video, so thanks for the tips on the hiking... looks fun! I love the views! Beautiful!! Happy paths❤️
FALLS CREEK (MT SAN JACINTO) YOU CAN SEE IT at White Water rest stop off the 10 fwy. The falls is not year round but this year has been great. This falls has a long long drop off the mountain! It is my favorite!👊🤠
Green valley falls in cuyamaca state park is a pretty fun one. The flow is not that impressive but the hike is easy and there is a pool that's safe to jump in.
Try to get into the cave at Black Star Canyon Falls as it is cool to check out. Bring plenty of drinking water as the hike is long and get good directions as there are no signs to know where to make the turns and you may miss it. Bring epipen for bees if allergic. I got stung but few people do and I did not notice any at the falls, just one segment of the way up.
This is a great list!! The only one I would add is San Antonio Falls in Mt. Baldy. We actually got some sick drone footage of it on our channel, if ya wanted to check it out.
California Through My Lens it's well earned... your videos are not spammy or hype trying to getvlikes/comments/subscribes... And it shows what people really want to see... I was inspired to visit some of these places I will post it shortly on my Instagram Channel if you want to see what I was able to come up with its here instagram.com/integritydesignonline/ Cheers.
Done 3 of the falls going to try and do the rest by years end and you said that blackstar fall was the hardest. One in the list i done that one like 7 times and i love it it's difficult but super fun
Update for Escondido Falls: PLEASE be aware that right after the first waterfall, it is very difficult to climb up the hill. It’s very steep and super rocky. There isn’t a rope anymore and the roots of trees make it more difficult. It is really hard if you take your dogs or little kids. I wouldn’t recommend if you bring your dogs or kids. Other than that it’s a super cool hike, mostly in the spring, hopefully that helps anyone from showing up and realizing this.
How about Nojoqui Falls near Solvang? An 80 ft high water fall at the end of a half mile trail from the City Park. Good most of the time but spectacular after a wet season!
i was at the ortega hwy fall yesterday, your description is very accurate! i plan on going to a couple more you mention, i am not attracted to the one you say there is poison ivy!
Wow not one from San Bernardino County? San Bernardino County has some of the highest falls around. I have at least 7 in there that would blow half of these away.
Oh sick to see Blackstar on the list, I've done that like 2-3 times and the boulders were intense, the WF is worth it though, check out the cave too if you can climb up into it 🔥
glad you mentioned 3 Sister's... the ranger's have closed it due to the extended heatwave in the back country... digging your vid's Josh.... peace from San Diego
Cooper Falls, Switzer Falls, Fish Falls, and Eaton Falls are a couple others in the LA area. My favorite is still Sturtevant Falls, for the LA area that is.
Tenaja is also awesome- and big falls in san Bernardino mountains also super impressive - but often closed due to danger and monitored by rangers. and of course Bonita falls in Lytle creek -
Did the three sisters hike. It's pretty strenuous, there have been tons of rescues there this year so I wouldn't be surprised if they start requiring a permit like cedar Creek does, cedar Creek is a lot easier of a hike, right now neither falls are flowing tho.
Ive been to many of these falls myself, but you left off Eaton Canyon Waterfall. It is one of my favorites, but nowadays its getting way too crowded, which is unfortunate.
Hi Josh You missed Bonita Falls in San Bernardino National Forest, it has water all year long even no rain and in 95 degree F summer. Have you been there?
Tanriverdi Falls is 160' tall but is a very difficult & dangerous hike and climb. It is about 3 miles each way accessible from Falcon Group Camp ground off the 74. This takes you to the top of the falls. I am told its the largest in So Cal and generally a canyoneering trip of 10+ hours.
another awesome fall - but way south - off highway 8 halfway to Arizona - it's called kitchen creek falls - of the PCT near the Mexican border. The hike is about 5 miles round trip - mostly moderate trail, but about a half mile scramble to get to the bottom tier - it's a 5 tier, 200 foot fall - and is by far my favorite falls - black star is my second, Ortega when flowing is third. check out hikelikers on IG - or look up kitchen creek falls for more images - I promise you wont be dissapointed
On the one hand I approve of encouraging people to explore their world, on the other hand I know that the more publicity that beautiful places in nature receive the more people come and leave behind garbage.
The first waterfall I ever saw in Los Angeles was Lewis Falls in Northern Fork of Azusa. It will always be special to me. I have seen some of the waterfalls on this list but man what I would give to see Dana Point rippin'. I would go straight to Doheny and surf. Thanks for more incentives. Anaagodziiht.
Rose valley falls in north ventura County above ojai is a 2 tier 300 foot fall with pass thru cave to climb thru behind waterfall the tallest water fall in the Los Padres NF. Lower tier easy .4mi trail 150 elevation gain upper tier much more dangerous scramble but well worth it ... Matilija falls and matilija dam also worth a visit if in the area
Jackson Falls and the Punch Bowls in Santa Paula were great back in the 70s. You could backpack in and stay overnight for free. Aside from some trash and graffiti, it was beautiful and there were plenty of trails to hike. I've been away from California for 29 years, so no idea what it's like now. I'd love to hear from someone who's been recently.
Wow there was graffiti there even back in the 70s huh? I was up there a few months ago and it's still beautiful but recovering from a huge fire that raged over that area last winter.
The only one i been to is one you did not put on which is the Copper Creek Falls in San diego country. I live in the city it is in which is San Marcos, CA it is i great view and hard to find if you don't know where to go
OOhhh, man! This last waterfall is amazing. it like the water is lefting a cave. You need have been introducing to a brazilians waterfalls! Searching about Serra do cipo - MG! You will so amazed!
In California you need to hike/walk for miles to see few waterfalls? I like hikes but please where i am i can go outside, walk some several minutes, and see some fine waterfalls!
Y'all have more waterfalls than we do here in Utah. haha But Oregon is still the king of waterfalls! Although Yosemite has the Tallest ones, the PNW (including Washington states) have the most amazing ones. Then again, I love every waterfall I see!
