Love Angeles Forest. Always beautiful view while driving. Curved roads, love it. There is a small parking lot beside the road. But you can drive down to the trailhead. You need to have “adventure pass” which you can buy at Big 5 before getting there. Nice forest with stream. Switzer falls trail is easy. Around 2 miles from the entrance. Then you can go further to Bear Canyon Campground. It’s about 2 miles more. Not many hikers are there. I faced to a snake😵💫😵 be careful😵😬 recommend to do hiking there

Not a 5 due to filthy restrooms. Use it before you visit. Although, the Progression through the hiking trail was easy the first mile (plenty of shade), then steep, rough with cliffs (sunny), moderate then easy (shade) 2nd mile and reverse to return. BUT the path is clear with many rocks, boulders, tree trunks, and multiple stream passage ways (loved it). Be ready to get your feet wet. The scenery is beautiful. The trail follows the stream to the waterfalls which are beautiful. They were flowing low but steady. The soft burble of the stream and light rumble of the waterfalls are heard throughout the trail. Definitely returning.

Well taken care of and very special even though it gets a lot of traffic. Surprisingly, One of the most diverse plant spots I’ve been in Southern California. Please help pick up trash. Very beautiful and highly recommend. Was confused about what the end point was. Was I supposed to walk down to the waterfall or just admire the skinny thing from afar? Don’t really care. The trail is better than the waterfall. Deserving 5 stars indeed.

Water is flowing nice right now. Bring extra socks and shoes in case you miss a rock at one of the few stream crossings. After the stream crossings you will be heading up the mountain where there is mostly sun. When you come to the split start heading down (take the left trail). Once you hit the water again just follow it up to the falls. There is another big falls (upper falls) but it's a pretty sketchy area at the small falls so be careful, watch your footing and hold on to steady branches. If the road is closed you're gonna add about another mile to the hike and honestly the hike back up the road is the worst of the hike 😂 The water is freezing but after the initial shock of it jumping in feels great! So bring a towel and brave the dunk 😊 Have fun, pack out your trash and enjoy. Yes adventure passes are needed for parking. This is a popular hike on the weekends, so I recommend getting here early!!

Big 5 or REI $5 for the day 30 for the year
Been goin there the past month,45- 1hr to get to the water fall, theres 3 location for parking,seen baby deer twice
It's open but I think the parking lot is closed so you have to park higher up.
It's super easy and you don't need coordinates. Get a daily pass, use the lower parking lot (it's open now). Got towards the brown bridge and keep going for 30 or 45 minutes till you approach a big falling tree and then a big boulder on the left. Cross the creek and go up for 5 or 10 minutes. Once on the top, the trail splits and go left. Descent into the canyon. Trail is narrow and very uneven. Once on the bottom go left following the creek for around 10 minutes or less. Waterfall is at the end.
This home to the first falls is between 1.6-2 miles. However if you go towards the camp site that is additional 6-8 miles in its really nice. Has a second fails over there. No people go because it's more challenging to get to. Worth it.
The lower parking lot is not but you can park on the highway. Do not leave valuables in the car. There have been many recent break-ins.
Yes
If you're going to leave it overnight, I would leave it in the top section. Also, this isn't a national park. It is a national forest.
Probably yes, it was closed last Sunday
There was no water this time of year
I went there two weeks ago (9/1/21) and it was open. The parking lot is closed so you have to park in the upper lot next to the road and walk down
It's currently open for hiking. The waterfall is almost not existing, low water supply. Keep in mind that trails can be closed if issues come up.
It's a 3.6 miles from the lower parking lot till the waterfalls.
Yes and yes!
No it's on 🔥
No camping yet, I did see families swimming; I went last weekend
Well, since everything is closed, you can go. But when everything returns to normal you have to make a reservation and have a lousy for parking
You don't need a parking pass. The gate leading to the parking spaces down the mountain is closed. Just pull to the side of the road and park. You will notice a bunch of cars lined up, pull over there. Enjoy.
You can park on the side of the road outside the park. Make sure ur in the lines "off the road" or you'll get a ticket. But the trail is open to hike. Also no adventure pass needed unless you park in the lot. But its closed
To be honest I've gone early morning like 7ish and people are already there and there's time I've gone 2ish and people are coming back up and some are going. The inside parking is close still
Its a narrow creek you follow to the falls no river
Picnic area is right next to parking lot and more picnic areas further down trail .
You can make your on map use Caltopo website. It's has several tools to suit your needs. It's free for use and you can print your map, but it's low-res. If want higher resolution for printing there is a fee option. You can also export your map to Google Earth and other map apps. https://caltopo.com/map.html
There is no place to camp on the trail. However, there are few spots near the trail head where you can cook. Those places are kind of picnic spots. You can find more about these by calling the Rangers.
It's 1.9 miles to the falls (swimming area?) from the start of the trailhead at the picnic area. If you park at the viewpoint parking lot right at the entrance immediately off the highway then it adds another 0.5 miles.
There is an adventure pass you have to buy at a 7/11 or ranger station just to park in a hiking spot.
Is it really??? Ive never seen it dry before, it always is usually going even though it can be just a dribble down the side of the mountain sometimes
