Fun Facts

Escondido Falls boasts a height of approximately 150 feet, making it the tallest waterfall in the Santa Monica Mountains.

The waterfall is split into two main tiers, with the lower falls being more accessible and the upper falls requiring a more challenging hike.

The flow of water at Escondido Falls varies greatly with the seasons, often being most impressive after winter rains.

The falls are accessible via the Escondido Canyon Trail, a popular 3.8-mile round-trip hike that offers scenic views of the surrounding nature.

The trail leading to the falls is lined with native plants such as sycamores and oaks, providing a lush environment for hikers.

Parking is available along Pacific Coast Highway, but it can be limited, especially on weekends and holidays.
