"A quick ten minute walk from the mountain road is all it takes to reach the falls. Best time to come is between March and before June before the water level drops dramatically. Careful, it's slippery!"

"All-day hike leads visitors through some amazing parts of Desolation Wilderness. Be careful upon reaching the falls as everything is steep/slippery. Be prepared for the breathtaking view at the top!"

"Fantastic natural water slides allow for three levels of freezing yet refreshing trips over the edge and into the river. Two mile hike downhill; be prepared to take the same journey uphill returning!"

"Nature area that is perfect for a day trip up the mountain. Camping grounds available for those who would like to stay more than a single afternoon. Lots of nature trails and breathtaking views."

"From Labor Day until Thanksgiving, Apple Hill is a wonderful place to purchase locally grown apples and other apple products. Many different places to visit. Nature trails and scenic views abound."

"Healthier alternative cafe with a great variety of drinks and food goodies to select. Location isn't too busy so its a nice place to bring a book or catch up with old friends. Right off the freeway!"
