Overview

This brief run up a fire road takes users up to the impressive three-tiered 60-foot falls.

Runner Notes

An easy run up the fire road but could be busy on weekends.

Description

From the parking area, head north on Mt. Baldy Road, a fire road with an easy grade. At 0.5 miles, the road turns to head back south; at this northern point, runners will have a nice view of the falls, but the adventurous can reach the bottom of the falls by following a rough trail further north.

Do not try to climb the falls.

After a grand ol' time taking in the views at the falls, head back the way you came.

Heading over to the San Antonio Falls. Not the main event but well worth the detour from the Mt. Baldy trail!
