As you move along the trail, take your time so you don’t miss a thing about the landscape all around you. The wide-open spaces are not commonly found in the busy parts of town in which you might normally find yourself.

The trail is nice and wide, so this is an excellent choice of walk to take with a group of friends or with the more experienced hikers in your family.

The view is amazing all along the walk. You can see for miles! The landscape is full of incredible mountains and valleys, and you can even see into town. Seeing everything from far away is a nice way to put things into perspective and feel connected to nature.

The waterfall and river are so lovely that you’ll want to check them out from as many angles as you can. The view is lovely and there’s nothing quite like the peaceful sound of water running over the rocks and into the flow of a brook.

Sit in the tranquil area for a while once you’ve made it here. While it may not be the best-known waterfall in Southern California, you might have a little bit of company to enjoy it with you.

Etiwanda Falls Trail is the perfect place to hike if you’re looking for a break from the biggest tourist destination trails. It’s quiet enough that you’ll likely have plenty of time to yourself, especially if you leave early in the morning. What’s your favorite part of this hike?
