Parking: Plenty of parking, if parking is full, extra parking is off to the side near the beginning of parking lot, look for access road.

Venue Overview:

Eaton Canyon Falls is a very popular beginners hike. So if you are looking for a reason to get started, this would be it. Or maybe you just want to get outside on a Saturday morning.

We will get started just after 8:30am the trail will take us just under an hour to get to the waterfall. Will hang out there for about 20 minutes and then return to the parking lot. No more than 4 miles round trip and you got outside!
