Three Sisters Falls
San Diego County, California
Overview
Elevation Change 1000 Distance 4.5 miles Hike/Ride Time Full day Difficulty Moderate to Strenuous Best Seasons Spring, Winter Ranger District Palomar Ranger District - (760) 788-0250 Gaining in popularity, this often crowded, yet challenging hike takes hikers through several ecosystems before leading to the main event - three large waterfalls wedged between tall, rocky mountains. Having recently undergone some new developments, hikers will find a safer and more direct route to the falls, which alleviates the need to rock/mountain climb, lowering injury risks and casualty rates. Those who are interested in extreme hiking, mountain climbing, rock traversing, or otherwise challenging hikes will still appreciate elements of this trail, particularly if hiking to the third waterfall or traversing the rocky bottom. If you do not feel you are ready for the intensity of this hike, please reference our Recreation Trail Guide for a list of other options in this area.
