Top Waterfalls in California

Get there early, like 7 AM – the crowds are way lighter and you get great photo opportunities without too many people in the shot. Plus, the morning light is beautiful!

I recommend taking the short trail to the base; it's stunning! But be prepare for the mist! I wish I had brought a waterproof jacket or at least a poncho to stay dry while enjoying the view

Check the weather ahead of time; it can get foggy. If it's clear, you'll get the best views and photos. A cloudy day really hides the magic!

Don’t forget to wear good shoes! The path can be a little uneven and slippery, so comfortable footwear is a must.

Bring plenty of water and snacks. The hike can be more intense than you think, and it’s not fun being parched or hungry on the way up!

Check the weather before you go. I got caught in the rain, and it made the trail slippery and a bit scary. Always plan ahead.

My advice is to wear good shoes. The trail can get a bit muddy and slippery, so don’t make the mistake I did by wearing flip-flops. It’ll save you from a pretty uncomfortable hike.
