💦💧 Switzer Waterfall / Thai Food at Min's Kitchen 💦💧

UPDATE: Water level can be near waist high. Please bring shoes that can get wet, poles if you have them, and a change of clothes for afterward!

"GET COOL" AT BEAUTIFUL SWITZER FALLS!!!
4.5 MILE HIKE ROUND TRIP alongside a stream... Beautiful waterfall at the end point.
Approximately 700 feet of gain total. Not a difficult hike.
Weather will be cooler, bring layers.
We will stop at the top of the falls as well.

BRING PLENTY OF WATER!!!
Several stream crossings but they should be easily navigable. Your feet may get wet... change of shoes for afterward and poles (maybe just one) are not a bad idea.

Parking can be be TRICKY so you may have to park on the street, or in the upper parking lot, or the parking area (limited) midway down the road to the trailhead or, if you get lucky, at the bottom (go all the way down to the bottom first and work your way back up if you can't find a spot). Give yourself plenty of time to find parking, then walk down the road to the meeting spot. We may be able to give you a ride back to the top if you park up there.

MEET AT LOWER LOT BETWEEN THE RESTROOM AND THE BRIDGE
We usually leave 15-20 minutes after the official start time, to give people time to mingle, be a little late, and take a group photo.

IF YOU LEAVE THE WEST SIDE BY 11 AM you should have time to park and walk down to the trailhead if you have to park at the top.

Bring a snack and water... we'll stop for a snack-break and to take pics at the falls...

DOGS OK ON LEASH!!!
Friendly dogs off-leash is ok, you assume all responsibility and do so at your own risk.

YOU NEED AN ADVENTURE PASS (one per vehicle / $5 per DAY pass) or an America the Beautiful pass, can be purchased at the Shell station at the 210 and Angeles Crest Highway or most sporting goods stores. NOTE: We recently saw a Reddit post stating that the fee for not having a pass is $100 as of this year!!!
