Hidden Falls

(click each photo to enlarge)


Hidden Falls is located in the Hidden Falls Regional Park in Placer County, between Auburn and Lincoln, California. To get there we had to drive about 5 miles on a country road, park, and hike about 1-1/2 miles to the falls. It is a pretty strenuous hike, but we took our time and made it OK -tired but worth it. The trails are wooded with lots of wildlife. As a matter of fact, a wild turkey (the bird -not the drink) led us part of the way to and from the falls!

Recently, Placer County unveiled a new observation deck that gives hikers an up-close view of the spectacular 30-foot waterfall.

Hidden Falls is a "year-around" falls, but is most spectacular in the Spring.
