Lundy Canyon Waterfalls
The Lundy Canyon Waterfalls consist of several ephemeral and permanent cascades lining the canyon as well as on Mill Creek itself.  ) on a July 4th weekend and still saw the waterfalls you see on this page. We did see some wildflowers along the trail but we also had to contend with lots of mosquitoes (so we really didn't want to stand still for very long).From the car park (see directions below), you embark on the walk and continue towards Lundy Pass passing by several waterfalls. There are a few creek crossings where you have to keep your balance as you cross narrow bridges (it can be nerve-wracking as my cousin narrowly missed falling into the creek on one of the traverses). But aside from that, the hike is mostly level with a climb in the beginning and more climbing after the last cascade we stopped at. For photography, you'll want to do this hike in the morning since the canyon is east-facing. We did this in the afternoon and we were looking against the sun on some of the cascades while the rest of the Lundy Canyon Waterfalls were in shadow.

Please forgive the dodgy quality as this is a very ancient video.
