There's lots to say about California and the California Waterfalls. Click on one of the following links to jump to the section you're interested in...
ABOUT THE FALLSCalifornia Waterfalls dot the Golden State in terrain as varied as mountains to deserts to coastlines and volcanoes. It's this diversity that makes California a great place to live as well as visit.
California is blessed with beaches, rugged coasts, mountains, deserts, forests, cities, you name it. Of course, the comfortable climate draws people from around the world - regardless of whether they plan to live here or visit. The result being what we think is one of the most open-minded and ethnically diverse places in the world. Being a resident of Los Angeles most of my life, I have been fortunate to see and experience much of this variety. However, I must honestly say that it wasn't until my mid to late 20s did I truly start to open my eyes and see what I had been missing most of my life. The catalyst of it all began with a few trips to California Waterfalls. Now, with the help of my wife, we have visited a fairly large collection of California Waterfalls, and we're eager to share them with you in this section. Upon a visit to the natural beauty that the Golden State has to offer, you'll realize that California Waterfalls exist... - near cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco (and even San Diego)
- along its ruggedly beautiful coast (such as Big Sur and Point Reyes)
- within its towering snow-capped mountains (such as the Sierras and Yosemite [in it's own separate section])
- and even in the hottest place in the lower 48 states (i.e. Death Valley)!
Even though we think we've seen quite a few of the California Waterfalls, there are many more that are out there. We hope to be fortunate enough to see most of them within our lifetime, but that is going to be a tall order...

CALIFORNIA WATERFALLSBelow are the California Waterfalls that we have been to. Click on a region or a waterfall for more details about them.
 Yosemite National Park: This treasure of California features some of the most beautiful scenery in the state - especially its many cliff-diving waterfalls. This place is so beautiful and waterfalls are so abundant that we've created a completely separate series of web pages devoted to the waterfalls and other attractions you'll find here...

 Southern California (Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara): Even though this region is dominated by the greater Los Angeles area, waterfalls can be found in relatively quick short day trips. It was through these trips that our waterfall addiction got started. From the coastal mountains of the Santa Monica Mountains to the rugged forests of the Angeles National Forest to the canyons of the San Bernardino Mountains, we'll show you to some of the waterfall gems that nature lovers can't resist once they know where to look...

 Coastal California (Big Sur & Bay Area): This rugged yet alluring strip of land between Coastal Mountains and the Pacific Ocean is affectionately known as the place where "the ocean meets the sky." Not only will you find one of the most beautiful coastal regions on the planet in Big Sur, but there are waterfalls up and down coast that further motivate you to see the area. Many of the waterfalls here are reasonable day trips (or relaxing weekend trips) from the Bay Area.

 Southern and Central Sierras: Within these mountains, which encompass the tallest peaks in the lower 48 states, the largest living organism on earth, and numerous National Parks and National Forests, there are several waterfalls that beckon you to come and visit. Amongst some of the prominent places to see in this region (with the exception of Yosemite National Park, which has its own section in this website) include Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, Death Valley National Park, Mono Lake, and Sequoia National Forest, among others. The choices of waterfalls to see may seem overwhelming, and we've only seen a fraction of what's out here, which we'll show you within these pages...
