Millard Canyon

Consider Millard Canyon the Goldilocks of area waterfall hikes: The creek crossings are easier and less frequent than Eaton Canyon Falls, and the trail as a whole is considerably shorter than something like Escondido Falls. That’s particularly helpful to know if you plan on bringing an on-leash dog with you to the Altadena trek. The hike to and from the 50-foot falls is just over a mile if you park in the lot near the end of Chaney Trail, though you can tack on an extra mile by parking farther back at the Mt. Lowe Road trailhead. In either case, you’ll need to display your Adventure Pass ($5).
