サンディエゴ郡の滝・トップ6

Hiked Cedar Creek Falls 06/08 …heats up in June. Take plenty of water, 34 oz was not enough. The ground temp was 124 degrees. Permits needed and hikers are checked in and checked out. Beautiful views of the Falls make it worth it!

At this spot on the popular North Main Trail in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve there is a bike repair station and a bike rack somewhat hidden in the bushes to stash your bike if you wish to pop down a short spur trail to see a waterfall.

The road is very rough to get here. There's tons of trash and junk everywhere. Found a note that said "Please pack out all your trash and shells. Lets keep this shooting area clean." The waterfall was one of the tallest I've seen in SD County right off a road. No hiking required. It might be seasonal as it was a little more than a trickle in early October.

The name "Los Peñasquitos" translates to "little cliffs" in Spanish, a characteristic that becomes evident at this location. Here, you'll find a creek flows through a boulder-filled area, creating a tranquil scene rather than a roaring waterfall. The surroundings offer a serene and picturesque atmosphere.

This waterfall is a refreshing feature along the Piedras Pintadas Trail. It is small, but it is worth looking out for!

Cedar Creek Falls is a beautiful cascade that drops 80 feet into a shimmering pool of water. It's best to visit the falls in the spring or fall, when there is a higher chance of water running. The falls are located in Cleveland National Forest and there is a permit required for the trail leading up to them, so be sure to plan your hike accordingly!
