This is one of the easiest waterfalls to visit, particularly considering it's located near the rugged Sespe Wilderness. "Easy" being a relative term depending on how far you traveled to get here.

Rose Valley Falls has a drop of around 80ft and an upper drop of approx 100ft. It also features a small cave where it was possible to crawl in one side and crawl out the other side behind the foot of the waterfall.

Access is currently open (Jan'24), but check before traveling: fs.usda.gov/detail/lpnf/alerts-notices/?cid=stelprdb5309152
