The trailhead starts on Winding Way Road, take the clearly marked path.ĭon’t let the fact that the Eaton Canyon Natural Area is also home to the dubiously named Moist Canyon keep you from visiting this popular spot. Trailhead: Park at the lot on Winding Way East a Pacific Coast Highway. On a hot day there’s no better reward than wading into the pool-there will probably be a couple of dogs already paddling around!-or just stand behind the waterfall letting the cool spray hit your skin. This path will take you under part of the lower waterfall and over more boulders until you reach the main event, a majestic tiered cascade that fans over moss-grown outcroppings. There’s a guide rope to help you pull yourself along, but be mindful of the slippery rocks. Everyone else should continue upwards via a clear route to the right of the falls (we suggest you opt for the official route-the other one is definitely dangerous!) for a steep climb that will take you to the Upper Escondido Falls. This is a good place for a breather, or for the less sure-of-foot it’s a lovely ending point. This is the Escondido Canyon Trail, an adventurous path that crisscrosses streams-so be prepared for some serious rock-hopping.Ībout a mile in, you’ll reach the Lower Escondido Falls, which are lovely on their own-at 50 feet they rival any of the other waterfalls on this list. After about half a mile the road will head downhill and there will be a clearly marked path to the left. You’ll start on Winding Way East, a private road in the Malibu hills that takes you uphill past ocean-view estates.

This is one of the biggest waterfalls in Southern California-a two-tiered, 150-foot cascade that pours down a series of limestone rocks covered in bright-green moss.
