I think Ventura County is part of Southern California, and you should check out Matilija Creek Waterfalls, hard to reach but worth the hike.
Really great video, I look forward to doing some of the hikes to these locations.
Thank you Josh for sharing!I love your videos and I have all these waterfalls on my list.....
Thank you for taking us especially on this hard moments... 👏👏👏👌
Thank you for sharing! I love water falls!
Thanks for posting this! I am really excited about checking out the Trail Canyon Falls in Tijunga.
Been going to Millard Canyon since I was a kid.
We went to Trail Canyon in Tujunga after seeing this video. Great hike and great falls. Thank you for this video.
Very nice. But two of your words gave me chills: poison oak. Yipes.
Though it's been goofed up due to trail closures, Forrest Falls flows your round, is an easy hike, and very impressive from the top...
You always do a great job on your videos. Really enjoyed this among others you have done like Joshua Tree. Just subbed
Best Water Fall Vid on CZcams .. thanku for making this List !!!
I’ve never been to California, but I would love to Mc.way big sur waterfall, it’s like a magic waterfall
I have been to Switzers, Eston cyn, Solstice and Millard. There’s others in Malibu. I liked the three sisters because it’s stretched. Thanks for sharing.
Update for Escondido Falls: PLEASE be aware that right after the first waterfall, it is very difficult to climb up the hill. It’s very steep and super rocky. There isn’t a rope anymore and the roots of trees make it more difficult. It is really hard if you take your dogs or little kids. I wouldn’t recommend if you bring your dogs or kids. Other than that it’s a super cool hike, mostly in the spring, hopefully that helps anyone from showing up and realizing this.
I am impressed with this list. Where I live in the Antelope Valley, we have a seasonal waterfall. It's about 6 inches high where the water falls off the curb into the gutter. Altogether not impressive. Glad you found better ones.
Several are in the Mount San Antonio area (Mt. Baldy), including the name sake San Antonio Falls near Manker Flats.
Aztec falls has amazing cliff jumping as well as falls
Great falls of the fox in Tujunga, simply amazing.
Great recommendations! I know where to go now for the summer.
@Michael i will love to visit there too
Love Waterfalls no matter where they are in the world. Looks great and wish I could transport myself there and grab some nice pics. I can dream though..
Fish Canyon Falls in Azusa is one of the best, when the trail is open.
Also San Antonio Falls and Stoddard Canyon Falls on Mt. Baldy .
There are many others, but you chose some of the good ones.
Bonita falls in San Bernardino is very nice! About 45 minute walk/hike to the waterfall and beautiful Lytle creek
FALLS CREEK (MT SAN JACINTO) YOU CAN SEE IT at White Water rest stop off the 10 fwy. The falls is not year round but this year has been great. This falls has a long long drop off the mountain! It is my favorite!👊🤠
I HAVE TO GO to the Heart Rock Falls! I hadn’t heard of it befor this video, so thanks for the tips on the hiking... looks fun! I love the views! Beautiful!! Happy paths❤️
Thanks for the comment, have fun exploring!
You too!
Love it thank you
I love hiking 🥾
Try to get into the cave at Black Star Canyon Falls as it is cool to check out. Bring plenty of drinking water as the hike is long and get good directions as there are no signs to know where to make the turns and you may miss it. Bring epipen for bees if allergic. I got stung but few people do and I did not notice any at the falls, just one segment of the way up.
I was surprised to see my home waterfall top the list! I live 20 min away from Black Star Falls outside of Trabuco Canyon. Pro Tip: when you get to the falls, climb the steep hill to your right to find a set of ropes. You can climb the ropes to the top of the hill for incredible views of the Santa Ana mountains!
Thank you for sharing the extra tip! I am going to do it!
Hey can you tell me if I can make bbq there pls..cuz i wanna go tomorrow with my fam but i don’t have no idea
The rope looks super thin now 😭 didn't have the guts to go up
Me and my dad went there yesterday he has a bad back that needed several surgeries and I’m a skinny 5”9 135lbs that never exercises and he made it up easily because he use to hike all the time in his younger days but I barely made it up mostly because I was out of breath and trying to keep up with my dad. It’s a good hike and even though it’s number 1 on this list I think it’s do able for most people of average athleticism and determination
I did that last weekend
Very informative, thanks!!
Great video thanks for the info
Thank u, love California.
Forest falls easiest hike ever and beautiful!!!!
Tahquitz Canyon Falls in Palm Springs, Ca.
Switzer Falls.... Thanks for the video! I gotta get out there!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic video!
Very cool tour!
Big sur waterfall is beautiful too, I love waterfalls
Wow my first waterfall hike was Black Star. Guess I’m done lol
Omg... i live in Orange County, first time i hear about the Black Star Canyon waterfall... i need to go there asap
Same here and im from orange county
glad you mentioned 3 Sister's... the ranger's have closed it due to the extended heatwave in the back country... digging your vid's Josh.... peace from San Diego
Thanks for sharing bro, great spots 🤙
@Kevin i love it too
Done 3 of the falls going to try and do the rest by years end and you said that blackstar fall was the hardest. One in the list i done that one like 7 times and i love it it's difficult but super fun
Green valley falls in cuyamaca state park is a pretty fun one. The flow is not that impressive but the hike is easy and there is a pool that's safe to jump in.
Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't been to that one!
California Through My Lens It's actually in the campground.
Black Star is my favorite of your 7, but you have to make it to the top and hike like 1.5 miles more to enjoy one of the coolest Hikes in south Cali.
Jesus Mejia need to visit that one!
This is a great list!!
The only one I would add is San Antonio Falls in Mt. Baldy. We actually got some sick drone footage of it on our channel, if ya wanted to check it out.
Another heart @ :54! To the left of the waterfall.
Also in palm springs the Tahquitz falls is amazing
hello there..new viewers here...very nice uploads..reminds me of my tours around the waterfalls of Mindanao,Philippines,,,sending you a like with a smile from chicago and bukidnon,mindanao,philippines
Ha! My wife is from Bukidnon!!
Valencia City.
Did the three sisters hike. It's pretty strenuous, there have been tons of rescues there this year so I wouldn't be surprised if they start requiring a permit like cedar Creek does, cedar Creek is a lot easier of a hike, right now neither falls are flowing tho.
Nice work on the video..... I will check some of these out soon. Thanks
Thanks for the comment!
California Through My Lens it's well earned... your videos are not spammy or hype trying to getvlikes/comments/subscribes... And it shows what people really want to see... I was inspired to visit some of these places I will post it shortly on my Instagram Channel if you want to see what I was able to come up with its here

Cheers.
i was at the ortega hwy fall yesterday, your description is very accurate! i plan on going to a couple more you mention, i am not attracted to the one you say there is poison ivy!
We are enjoying your channel
Oh sick to see Blackstar on the list, I've done that like 2-3 times and the boulders were intense, the WF is worth it though, check out the cave too if you can climb up into it 🔥
Big Falls, Forest Falls, CA
@Terry maybe i can get to visit there with you some day
Cooper Falls, Switzer Falls, Fish Falls, and Eaton Falls are a couple others in the LA area. My favorite is still Sturtevant Falls, for the LA area that is.
Tenaja is also awesome- and big falls in san Bernardino mountains also super impressive - but often closed due to danger and monitored by rangers. and of course Bonita falls in Lytle creek -
OOhhh, man! This last waterfall is amazing. it like the water is lefting a cave.
You need have been introducing to a brazilians waterfalls! Searching about Serra do cipo - MG! You will so amazed!
Awesome tips. Can you recommend anything in San Bernardo In fall?
Paradise falls in thousand oaks is beautiful as far as the hike you get maximum reward for very little effort
Thank you this vdo, I would try to go in one of these.. 🙏
@Getaway dont forget to take me along
another awesome fall - but way south - off highway 8 halfway to Arizona - it's called kitchen creek falls - of the PCT near the Mexican border. The hike is about 5 miles round trip - mostly moderate trail, but about a half mile scramble to get to the bottom tier - it's a 5 tier, 200 foot fall - and is by far my favorite falls - black star is my second, Ortega when flowing is third. check out hikelikers on IG - or look up kitchen creek falls for more images - I promise you wont be dissapointed
You really need to check out Forest Angel Falls near Redlands.
Ty liked and subscribed
Really surprised Cedar Creek Falls in San Diego County didn't make the list! Kind of glad it didn't---keep the hiking public numbers lower. :-)
Tanriverdi Falls is 160' tall but is a very difficult & dangerous hike and climb. It is about 3 miles each way accessible from Falcon Group Camp ground off the 74. This takes you to the top of the falls. I am told its the largest in So Cal and generally a canyoneering trip of 10+ hours.
Secret Falls... only 'slide rock waterfall' in SoCal... Angeles National Forest. (photo taken mid-summer, flow is much heavier in springtime).
Wow I wish I could’ve seen black star canyon falls when it was flowing like that 🥺
I went to Trail Canyon Falls last week!
Check Nojoqui falls in Santa Bárbara county.
The falls drop nearly 100 feet over a sandstone wall of the Jalama Formation.
some look beautiful:)
Love it nice
Paradise Falls
in Wildwood Park (THOUSAND OAKS)
I haven't been there yet but I want to check it out
You miss one in rancho cucamonga call blue star canyon Natural made marble water slide beautifully.
Imagine now with all this rain 2023!
after i saw this vid i liked and sub👍
You should try the Punch Bowls in Santa Paula
The first waterfall I ever saw in Los Angeles was Lewis Falls in Northern Fork of Azusa. It will always be special to me. I have seen some of the waterfalls on this list but man what I would give to see Dana Point rippin'. I would go straight to Doheny and surf. Thanks for more incentives. Anaagodziiht.
Stoddard Canyon Falls are amazing in Mount Baldy.
Ive been to many of these falls myself, but you left off Eaton Canyon Waterfall. It is one of my favorites, but nowadays its getting way too crowded, which is unfortunate.
Eaton Canyon is a great waterfall, but it is usually crazy busy so I kept it off this list.
Actually the falls behind the first one are better, but dangerous to get to.
@@californiathroughmylens it sucks! would have loved to see bonita falls on the list but it's also starting to get crowded there these days
Hey nice video❤
Did Black Star Canyon Falls, iced my knees when I got home 😰
Eaton Canyon Falls?
Awesome video, but I can't believe you left off Fish Canyon Falls in Azusa.
thanks dude
How about Nojoqui Falls near Solvang? An 80 ft high water fall at the end of a half mile trail from the City Park. Good most of the time but spectacular after a wet season!
Thats a good one too! I have only been there when it was a trickle
@@californiathroughmylens Then you've missed it! Try to get by after a wet Winter. It is worth it!
On the one hand I approve of encouraging people to explore their world, on the other hand I know that the more publicity that beautiful places in nature receive the more people come and leave behind garbage.
WOW!
My older brother has a house in Forest Falls, Cali he lives down the road from Big Falls. Very nice area, just watch out for the bear's at night 😟
P.S. make a video of going to San Antonio Falls in Mt. Baldy.
Epa que chulada saludos de Caballo blanco en USA...
Rose Valley Falls should make this list!
Rose valley falls in north ventura County above ojai is a 2 tier 300 foot fall with pass thru cave to climb thru behind waterfall the tallest water fall in the Los Padres NF. Lower tier easy .4mi trail 150 elevation gain upper tier much more dangerous scramble but well worth it ... Matilija falls and matilija dam also worth a visit if in the area
You forgot Forest Falls and Lyttle Creek Falls in San Bernardino! Good list though!
i may have done some of these hikes a few years ago while in the area...are they year round falls?
Hi Josh
You missed Bonita Falls in San Bernardino National Forest, it has water all year long even no rain and in 95 degree F summer. Have you been there?
The only one i been to is one you did not put on which is the Copper Creek Falls in San diego country. I live in the city it is in which is San Marcos, CA it is i great view and hard to find if you don't know where to go
How about the 40 foot year round waterfall at Wildwood Park in Thousand Oaks (Ventura County) California.
Any hikes similar to black star in South California??
I like to crawl up bolders
Lots of great bouldering in Joshua Tree if you are looking for a more unique hike.
Will you make one for Northern California waterfalls?
Eaton canyon waterfall in Pasadena. Its close to statervent falls
Y'all have more waterfalls than we do here in Utah. haha But Oregon is still the king of waterfalls! Although Yosemite has the Tallest ones, the PNW (including Washington states) have the most amazing ones. Then again, I love every waterfall I see!
