Description

Amazing view of both the main and the little Phantom Falls from the cliff. Wildflowers bloom along the way leading to the waterfalls. It is definitely one of the most rewarding viewpoints in Northern California.

Half-Day Hike: The parking lot is located on Cherokee Rd. Phantom Falls are about 1.6 mile hike from the parking lot. The trail is mostly flat but could be muddy especially after the rain. Boots/rainboots are helpful to keep your feet dry along this hike.

Appropriate access land pass is needed for most visitors. Please check out wildlife.ca.gov for the most updated information.

Family Friendly: The trail is mostly flat and not physically challenging. Several amazing spots for spectacular family pictures.
