Found in the local favorite San Bernardino National Forest, the aptly named Big Falls is the largest waterfall in Southern California! You’ll love the incredible views on Big Falls Trail. Be sure to charge your phone so you can take plenty of photos.

Big Falls Trail is known as an easy hike, mostly due to its short distance. It only runs for 0.7 of a mile, making it the perfect choice for kids, beginner hikers, or anyone who wants to see a beautiful place in a limited amount of time.

The San Bernardino Forest is truly beautiful, and this trail allows you to take it all in, from the rocky floor to the trees. Those trees vary in their look from season to season here. That’s just one more quality that’s not often found in Southern California, and one more reason to love Big Falls Trail.
