Kitchen Creek Falls via Kitchen Creek Rd

Cappie’s Scoop: I really like hiking to a waterfall! Especially when I can dip my paws in the water for a bit and then have breakfast. You know what’s cool about this hike (besides the falls of course) is that it’s on the PCT. Mom and I like to come in April just when the PCTers are starting their big hike from Mexico to Canada. I like to hand out treats like oranges and they give really good butt scratches in return! I also like to ask them if they have a trail name and I tell them I have one too! Mine is Stick Hunter and they think that’s really cool! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: You can hike to Kitchen Creek Falls from either Kitchen Creek Rd which is described here or you can start at a trailhead near Boulder Oaks Campground which is 4.7 miles RT and described at this link http://hikingsdcounty.com/kitchen-creek-falls.

Directions: Take I-8 E to the Cameron Station/Kitchen Creek Road exit and turn left onto Kitchen Creek Road. Follow Kitchen Creek Road for approximately 2.5 miles to a wide turnout on the left where you can park. The trailhead was marked by a PCT blaze mounted on a metal post.
