Hike to Frazier Falls

Frazier Falls is the ultimate family hike. Because the paved trail is only a mile long round trip, this trail is open to nearly anyone. Because of its relativly easy access and family friendly nature, this trail can get busy during the summer months.To reach Frazier Falls from the town of Graeagle, Ca, head south on Highway 89 for about a mile and a half until you reach the turnoff for Gold L...

This extremely short hike starts just off of Highway 32. From Chester, head southwest on 32 for roughly 21 miles. There is a turnout and a sign where the trail starts. This waterfall is best viewed in the spring when there is still a large amount of snow melt off. This waterfall is definitely not a destination hike, but is a perfect way to break up a longer drive on a hot summer day.

Oroville, California

4.2 mi / 850 ft gain

Dropping off a 135 ft cliff is a very well hidden waterfall with no trails leading to it. But if you do find it, it is an epic natural wonder.It is best to come here in the winter months, after a lot of rain. But it is also well worth coming in the spring when the wildflowers on Table Mountain are flourishing. When you arrive at the trailhead, you will see that there is indeed no trail at all....
