Someplace I've hiked since I was very young. The drive out Trabuco Creek Rd to the trailhead is an adventure in itself. Always beautiful no matter what time of the year but of course creeks and the falls flow better in the rainy season. Continuing up the trail above the trail turn off to the waterfall will lead up to the radio towers on Modjeska and Santiago peaks (about 5400 and 5600ft elevation)--you will have 360 deg views, on a clear day you can see from the desert to the ocean. Great hike!
