To the Waterfalls in California

A place called Salmon Creek, about 58 miles from Monterey, California is tricky to locate. After driving 58 miles south of Monterey, hikers can view a waterfall minutes from the highway. In order to park, you would have to search for a horseshoe shaped turn. If you are lucky to find the area, you can see cars parked along the highway. Hoping to have a nice hike or campsite.

The drive can be a treacherous adventure. Falling rocks, mudslides, not to mention finding a safe parking space to see Salmon Creek Waterfall up close.

If you are hiking from the highway, the Salmon Creek waterfalls can be seen about a third of a mile. The falls are on the boundary of the Salmon Creek Trail and the Silver Peak Wilderness. We hiked on the trail to the waterfalls that thundered on the boulders. We took our time climbing on the boulders to get closer to the sound of the crashing waves of water. We sat and relaxed for an hour and half.

The storm and rainfall around the waterfalls are now keeping the highway closed, so check before searching the falls.
