Salmon Creek Falls

Salmon Creek Falls is a 120-foot (36 meter) waterfall in the southern Big Sur region of Monterey County, California.

The falls are located along California State Route 1 about 2.9 mi (4.7 km) northwest of Ragged Point and lies within the Monterey Ranger District of the Los Padres National Forest and Silver Peak Wilderness.

As Salmon Creek descends a canyon along the southwestern slope of the Santa Lucia Range, it produces a series of small cataracts over a distance of 1.4 mi (2.3 km) before reaching the head of the main falls.

An unpaved 0.3 mi (0.48 km) trail from California State Route 1 provides access to a view of the main falls beside several large boulders.

The trail does not provide direct access to the base of the falls, which requires one to scramble over a pair of boulders to reach.
