This shot is from a couple weeks ago, before the big rains we had here. It probably looks a lot different these days.

Lower American Canyon Creek Falls … that’s quite a mouthful. This is a relatively unknown and obscure 37 ft. high falls on American Canyon Creek, and it’s another pretty one.

The first time I was at this falls, last year, I did not get a photo of the falls that I was happy with, so I was definitely wanting to get back here.

I had a tough time finding the trail down to the falls this time around. I knew about where it was, but it seemed that the trail was easier to find last time. It also seemed steeper this time.

I was also hoping to get a better vantage point of the falls this time because I knew the water flow would be much less. No dice there. There is one and only one spot to photograph this waterfall. Even with less water, that pool at the bottom of the falls is very deep. And I didn’t feel like swimming on this day.
