How to see NINE waterfalls along Northern California’s waterfall highway 👇👇

📍 Save this post for summer hiking inspiration!

Starting point:
☀️Potem Falls
This waterfall is right off of the parking area (.6 miles round trip) making it a quick stop on a waterfall crawl!

☀️Burney Falls
The trail to get to the bottom is currently CLOSED but you can still see the falls from the upper viewpoint.

☀️ McCloud Falls (upper, middle, and lower)
We recommend hiking the trail that connects the 3 waterfalls which is 4 miles. You can alternatively drive to each waterfall.

☀️ Faery Falls
This waterfall is located about .7 miles from the parking area and can be a bit hard to find. Once you park, head UP the forest road do not take the trail near the parking lot.

☀️Hedge Creek Falls
A waterfall you can walk under that is right off I5! It is an easy, short walk from the parking lot.

☀️ Whiskeytown Falls
A multi-tier waterfall that is accessible by a 3 mile round trip hike! Make sure once you reach the falls, you take the stairs to the left of the falls to see the upper tiers of the waterfall.

Ending point:
☀️ Crystal Creek Falls
This is a paved, very short trail from the parking area. It looked like the perfect swimming hole for warmer, summer months!

We stayed in Redding, California as our basecamp and we were able to see all of these in a day! For a great halfway point stop for lunch – check out ! They have the best burgers to fuel your waterfall crawl 🙃
