Chiquito Falls

Nice hike! The trail is also used by Mt bike rides, most were polite and followed trail etiquette. No water going over the fall, but if there had been more water the hike would have also been more challenging with water crossings. I will hike here again. ☺️

Good hike up to the falls. I did this hike late in July, so the "Falls" was down to a running faucet - making the destination a bit of a disappointment. Will come back in February or March, and I'm sure that it will be spectacular. If you include the San Juan Trail loop, the total distance out-and-back is 9.2 miles with 1600ft of elevation gain. This is an intermediate+ level hike, that is very exposed and hot, so prepare accordingly.

Falls are running strong. Flies were swarming there, so much that we could not stay to enjoy the spot. They were large and biting! Yikes! I’ve been out backpacking for days and on various trails throughout Orange and San Diego counties and I have never experienced this before.

Great way to de-stress after good rain through so-cal. This is a 6.4 mile hike from the San Juan Loop trail head. Takes about 2-2.5hr to hike there depending on your stops or abilities.
