Cedar Creek Falls

Although the falls have been overshadowed by tragedy and red tape during recent years, the fact remains that the falls and the San Diego River Gorge within which they are found are one of San Diego’s iconic and essential inland hikes. Here, you can enjoy a descent into a spectacular gorge across San Diego’s major river before reaching the cool shade of a grotto into which Cedar Creek flows. This is also a strenuous hike not recommended for beginners.
