What are some of the best waterfall hikes in Southern California?
When it comes to waterfalls in Southern California, it’s safe to say that we. Are. Obsessed. But who could blame us? Some of the most amazing beaches in the United States are right here, in SoCal, and we absolutely love that they’re ours – ALL ours! Some of the most breathtaking waterfall hikes on the west coast are in Southern California, like the legendary hike to Eaton Canyon Falls, in Pasadena. It’s about four miles in length round-trip, and it’s quite popular, so be sure to arrive early (and preferably during the middle of the week) to beat the crowds.
What are some excellent hiking trails with waterfalls in Southern California?
Of course, Eaton Canyon Falls isn’t the only hiking trail with waterfalls in Southern California. Oh, no – there are plenty more, and we love them all. Head out to Ramona, California, and do the Cedar Creek Falls trail. It’s longer – five miles round-trip – but trust us when we say this cascade is absolutely worth it. See why it’s one of our favorite waterfalls in Southern California! Another excellent waterfall trail in Southern California is the impressive (and easy) hike to reach Escondido Falls, which can be found tucked away in Malibu and is worth every moment of the nearly four-mile round-trip trek.
Where are the top wineries in Southern California?
Who says all the wineries in California are in Northern California? As it turns out, there are several top-notch wineries in Southern California that you’ll love exploring, like the Rosenthal at Malibu Estate. The Rosenthal is an amazing, top-rated wine tasting room and cellar across from the ocean on the Pacific Coast Highway (which makes for some amazing road trips in Southern California, by the way). Other excellent wineries of SoCal fame include the Galleano Winery, in Mira Loma, the Carter Estate Winery, in Temecula, and the Orfila Vineyards and Winery in Escondido offer up some chances to picnic among the vines. Neat!
