Hike #4 Kitchen Creek Falls


52 Hike Challenge 2016 Adventure Series

6.25 miles | +985'





At Kitchen Creek Falls, water from about 20 square miles of drainage upstream tumbles a total of 150 vertical feet over several cascades of various heights. Found in a remote canyon off the south flank of the Laguna Mountains, this waterfall is easily accessed by the well-trodden Pacific Crest Trail. A short stretch of scrambling over jagged boulders is required to reach the cascades. This is a fun place to walk along and across the stream, as well as clamber over water-polished boulders. A short but steep, loose decent is required to reach the base of the falls. After you've had your fill of all the natural beauty of the area, return the way you came along the PCT.
