Switzer Falls is a popular waterfall sitting deep in Arroyo Seco Canyon in the Angeles National Forest. Even though we visited this waterfall in February (during the height of our wet season), we had a dry winter and thus the falls were practically nonexistent. The photo you see above is the remnants of the trickling waterfall at its base.
The hike to the falls is a fairly hilly 2.5 miles return (though it's possible you might have to hike 5 miles return if the shorter trail is closed). The falls is 50ft if you look down from the trail (as shown below). Still, many locals come here to have a picnic, backpack, or do the day hike to the falls like us.
You can drive to the car park at the Switzer Picnic Area off Hwy 2 shortly after the Clear Creek Station.
