Tahquitz Canyon Details
Although the trail clocks in at just under 2-miles, it still packs a huge punch when it comes to beautiful scenery. You will pass trickling streams and glistening pools under you to reach a beautiful, cascading waterfall. Make sure you bring your swimsuit because you will definitely want to go for a dip in the refreshing pool at the bottom. Part of the trail is up a steep set of stairs, which can be challenging for some hikers. It can also be very hot in the middle of summer as there is little to no shade blocking you from the beating sun which also makes the waterfall at the end that much more enticing.
