Hike to Big Falls, Forest Falls, San Bernardino National Forest, California

Add to My List Check Off

Big Falls trail is a short easy hike to a 5-tiered waterfall located in a beautiful mountain canyon filled with giant redwood trees. The trailhead is reached by turning east off Highway 38 to Valley of the Falls Road in Forest Falls. Continue through the community to the top end of the road. Big Falls trailhead will be the first main parking lot on the left, immediately before the picnic area. Walk down the creek area about 5 minutes, then cross the wash (it is not recommended to cross when the water flow is high or when thunderstorms are predicted) and go up the trail about one tenth of a mile to the waterfall overlook. This area provides an excellent view of one of the tallest waterfalls in southern California. Do not hike/climb past the overlook! It is very dangerous because of the loose, slippery, and steep terrain. The trailhead is reached by turning east off Highway 38 to Valley of the Falls Road in Forest Falls. Continue through the community to the top end of the road. Big Falls trailhead will be the first main parking lot on the left, immediately before the picnic area.
