Looking for a weekend getaway? Plan a trip to NC's ‘Land of Waterfalls'
A waterfall is any point in a river or stream where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf.
This 100 foot waterfall near Rancho Cucamonga is one of the best in all of Southern California. The easy hike is a great one for the family and the waterfall is a prime example of the beauty SoCal has to offer.
From dramatic cascades in the mountains to picture-postcard coastal falls that tumble onto pristine beaches, you will find waterfalls in California everywhere you go. In fact, there’s a waterfall even at the edge of the driest place in the country: Darwin Falls in Death Valley National Park.
A waterfall may also be termed a falls or sometimes a cataract, the latter designation being most common when large volumes of water are involved. Waterfalls of small height and lesser steepness are called cascades; this term is often applied to a series of small falls along a river.
The waterfall will be on a small trail on the left that you shouldn't miss as long as you stay on that side. After about 3/4 ths of a mile you should see a small path heading up the left side of the mountain with lots of green trees and even a graffiti arrow.
