Cascade Falls Cascade Falls is a pretty diminutive 20ft waterfall, but it was one of the "easier" waterfall hikes we did in Marin County, and it seemed there were a lot of memorable things about the excursion itself. I've read that there's also an upper waterfall beyond the main falls, but we didn't do it. The 2-mile round trip hike along the High Water Trail undulates on some minor hills with some minor cliff exposure and some minor rock hopping on tributary streams. After crossing a bridge over Cascade Creek, you turn right and follow the trail alongside the stream until you get to the falls itself. The effect of all these restrictions is that you'll probably have to find a pullout further down the road, which will increase your hiking distance a bit.
