Add this water fall hike to your list of things to do in LA ๐ฟโฐ๏ธ
๐Switzer Falls
Itโs a 3.7 mile hike out and back & trail which was easy/moderate in difficulty
Thereโs about 8-10 water crossing so wear shoes you donโt mind getting wet ๐ฆ ๐ฅพ
Youโll ascend into the mountains and descend back to the river until you reach the falls ๐ฟโฐ๏ธ
We arrived early so got this spot all to ourselves
which I highly recommend doing in the early AM. This is also a dog friendly ๐ trail and yes! You can go in the water if youโd like but it was freezing temps when we arrived so decided to stay dry.
Remember to always leave no trace and respect the trails ๐๐๐
