Cascade Falls in Mill Valley is just a small 20 ft. cascade and is nothing spectacular. It is very easy to get to, though, and we thought it somewhat similar to the other Cascade Falls in the Bay area, near Fairfax (this one is a bit smaller).

It is a very short 3 minute walk from the parking area to the waterfall. There is a bench there, where you can sit and watch the falls.

The town of Mill Valley is like a miniature San Francisco. All the roads are narrow, and the drivers are crazy it seems. Perhaps that is common for coastal towns in the Bay area, but coming from Folsom, we are sure not used to it.
