Hike #1 Cottonwood Creek Falls

52 Hike Challenge 2016 Adventure Series

2 miles | +530'



Cottonwood Creek Falls is a little hidden gem of a waterfall tucked away at the base of the Laguna Mountains, just off Sunrise Highway in San Diego county. This 2 mile round trip hike really isn't difficult but there is a steep, loose decent and some thick brush to negotiate near the beginning. It's a mini adventure with a nice reward, especially if you go in spring or after a good rain. Plenty of small waterfalls await. If you're feeling adventurous you can go as far as you can up the creek to explore more cascades, but be careful, as the rocks can be slippery.
