Cooper Canyon Falls, nestled in the San Gabriel Mountains near the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, is a 25-foot waterfall formed from the perennially flowing stream within Cooper Canyon. On a sunny Saturday in late March, we trekked along the Burkhart Trail to Cooper Canyon Falls.
There are many lovely waterfall hikes in the Angeles National Forest. This post features hikes from Chantry Flat in Big Santa Anita Canyon, Millard Falls, and Switzer Falls, as well as the popular Eaton Canyon waterfall.
In the Angeles National Forest, we took the beautiful hike up to Mt. Islip and Windy Gap starting from Crystal Lake.
The Angeles National Forest has a number of trails and camps that can make for a fun backpacking adventure. The Gabrielino Trail and other trails in Big Santa Anita Canyon made for a fun introductory backpacking weekend close to Los Angeles.
When plans changed due to a brush fire, we were suggested a new hike. We explored Millard Canyon in the Angeles National Forest above Altadena, California. The trail was a short, fun adventure through a green canyon and lead to a lovely waterfall.
