Three Sisters Falls
Cappie’s Scoop: Coming Soon! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: Go early because the trailhead parking lot gets really packed due to the Three Sisters Falls trail that also starts from this trailhead.
Directions: From I-8 E, take the CA-79 exit. Follow 79 N for approximately 1.3 miles, then turn left onto Riverside Drive. At 0.9 miles Riverside Drive turns into Viejas Blvd and you will see a market/gas station on the left. Turn left here onto Viejas Grade Rd, then make an immediate right onto Oak Grove Dr. Follow Oak Grove Dr for 1.6 miles and turn right onto Boulder Creek Rd. Continue on Boulder Creek Road for 13 miles until you reach a hairpin turn where you will find the small dirt parking area and trailhead on the left. Boulder Creek Road is a beautiful and exciting mountain road. It is only paved for the first five miles or so, but the dirt portion was in very good condition the last time we hiked there. Expect the drive to be a bit bumpy.
