Switzer Falls Trail

"Great hike with lots of connecting trails you can get lost in. Path can be a little rocky and narrow if you have a furry friend, but definitely dog friendly. One of my favorite hikes. There are a couple water crossings so wear a good pair of waterproof hiking shoes in case you slip on a rock and take water. There are some non shaded parts that can get pretty hot on a sunny day. I went early in the morning and it was perfect, not super packed. By the time I left around 1230p (on New Yrs day), it was getting crowded. Don’t forget a day pass which you can get at the shell station (cash only)."

"Very pretty hike that is chill and ends at a nice waterfall. The majority is shaded and flat, only the latter half there is more elevation gain. There are several river crossings but enough rocks to avoid getting wet. The waterfall is small but flowing nicely. Took around 2 hours round trip. Overall a nice hike that is not too crowded and offers lots of beautiful views while being surrounded by nature."

"This was a very scenic and beautiful trail. It really showed California’s fall in the mountains. It was cold at certain parts of the trail than others so if you plan to go during this time of year definitely layer clothes to easily remove them or wear more.
