This is a pretty mellow, but fun, hike. It’s just outside of Pasadena in the Angeles National Forest. We walked through the creek with our dog, Bertrand, and my friend took a shower in the waterfall. I would love to camp here for a night or two. All in all, I’d recommend this hike to anyone and everyone.

Lovely place...lots of shade and trees. Easy hike takes you to a cute waterfall. Suggest to be there fairly early..some people like to bring their families and hang around..so it gets pretty packed

Its a nice hike.Take good walking shoes and plenty of water since it does get Hot. There is nice shade so thats +. We park on top of the mountain then walk down to the campsite and continued up to the waterfall. If you have small children i suggest you park near the campsite( go up the mountain, then turn left where it say addition parking[its down the mountain]).

Small, but nice waterfall. The hike is rather short and light. Only 0.5 miles to reach it. Trail is well maintained and offers a good amount of shade. Its a great hike if you want enjoy nature without going deep into the mountains.

Really easy hike. You will get your shoes wet! My GPS navigated me to the top of the canyon and the first time I went I took the wrong trail ended up going uphill for a few hours so make sure you follow the signs that say Millard.

Beautiful waterfall, easy to walk, very short hiking trail.

Nice short hike if you pass the first parking lot and drive down to the second near the campsite. Rocky, but great for kids and dogs

Pretty lengthy hike to the waterfall but loved it.The hike was super nice, went early so no people were around.

Easy hike but hard to find a parking spots on weekend..come early before 7am you might get lucky!!

Millard falls is a nice and relatively easy hike. Its scenic but it gets quite crowded on the weekends. Also parking can be tough, so get here early (entrance opens at 8A). There is a short route, about 1 mile, and a second route that is longer if you start above the parking lot. Enjoy and keep the trails clean!

Its a perfect hike either from the top to get a workout amongst beauty or from the bottom lot when taking kids.

Great hiking trail. The entrance to the camp grounds is close due to the fires and close on the weekends and holidays but you can park your car on the street before the entrance and hike up.

Short & easy trail to the falls. About 1 mile round trip. We saw a bobcat, but it wasnt interested in us. Lol. But be alert... Were in their homes.

Amazing! I recommend for the whole family .

Great quick hike. Very family friendly hike for the whole family took my 5 year old daughter and my 72 year old mom and we had a ball!

2 mile hike round trip. Perfect for children who like water as the hike follows a stream all the way to the source (i.e. the waterfall). Theres a bathroom right before the trail starts.

Beautiful shady easy hike. Only half mile hike to the waterfall.

Very beautiful place. Great place to wander around and meditate. Nature at its best.

Went on 10 5 19 and found plenty of water still there. There was wildlife such as deer, frogs, tadpoles, many birds and lizards. It was such an enjoyable short hike, that is very we shaded without much of an incline there or back. It is not a loop trail however and you must cross the stream about 5 times or so along the hike. I will definitely be going back to this one.

An easy hike to the falls which takes about 30 minutes from the main parking lot. You need to buy a parking pass, however, from the parks or REI for $4.99. The hike is pretty much shaded and goes along the stream from where the waterfall begins. You can also see Californian newts in the water.

After all this rain the waterfall is amazing. And Im surprised about the crowd was not there. Parking you need a adventure pass big 5 day pass 5.00 or 30 a year. Beautiful time to go. There are water crossings but nothing big

I love this place river, mountain and beautiful views that exactly all i need.

The water is less than what I thought but it’s still better than nothing. It’s pity that I can’t see its full strength considering how much rain it is this year. It’s more fun if you go above the waterfall by the side path. Be careful because this is the most dangerous part of trail. But it’s the shortcut to the dawn mine trail

Nice area for hiking. The road area is steeper than the trail. Good for the family.

Beautiful 30 foot waterfall

Great short hike for kids (2 & 4 years old)

Great hike, connects to mnt Lowe and echo mnt. Low traffic trail

Sunday 7/12/20Another getaway from the city, just a short drive out near Altadena/Pasadena.Easy and short trail, mostly shaded and nice waterfall. 20 minutes each way.Parking is with a prepaid park pass. Alternative to park on the side of the road.Entrance to trail is passed the millards camp ground. Just follow the water stream all the way up.Keep the place clean.Follow me on Instagram @ happy_explorer_2

Great hike. Beautiful trails and scenery.

The hike is really short and the waterfall is beautiful. The only downer is you will wish the hike is longer. This area is gorgeous and feels secluded. You can easily do a different hike after nearby such as Dawn Mine if you want to keep hiking.

Good. Trails are narrow but still comfortable walking. Hard to find waterfall.

Great small hike to do with kids, my girls absolutely loved it.

Easy to hike. Stream follows path to waterfall. Not usually too busy.

Where is the frog? Great camouflage!

I follow the google maps and it took me to the wrong place. Be careful!

Nice 20 minute walk

So beautiful, peaceful. Not a difficult hike. The flies were nominal and like polite personal trainers that only messed with you when you stood still. Its still some good elevation gain and a good workout.

Easy, short hike. Beautiful falls

A must do and see easy trek through the Angeles Forrest with Millard Falls as your destination and reward!

Its a nice hike and beautiful place, the water fall is the cherry on top

Really great place for a easy to moderate hike

Beautiful hiking trail.

You are required to purchase and display a Wilderness Adventure Pass to park in the nearest parking lot. Thus only the most dedicated adventurers tend to frequent this location.

There is many hikes and trails, but the sites are pretty repetitive. Getting to the Hidden Gold Mine takes about 3-5 miles.

Very peaceful hike up trail to falls...loved hearing stream along side of trail..so serene...easy hike...

What an awesome hide away! We went here after a few rainy days and the falls were flowing. Nature at its finest!!!

Small but beautiful, secluded waterfall. Kids can hike and have fun.

Millard Canyon Falls trail is a relatively easy trail with plenty of shade. The trail does not have too much foot traffic, though I did see quite a few mountain bikers. It is one of those trails where you start going downhill first, then uphill on the way back. Make sure that you have a day pass or a year adventure pass to display on dashboard.

Nice walk to do with kids

Easy hike. Nice falls. Overrun with toddlers on a Sunday morning.

Great mild hike, for families, beginners of hiking. The end of the trail leads to a waterfall. Since weve had such a great snows and rains the falls are very nice, get out there and live it!

45 min trail with good scenery among greens

This place is magical...the water is sweet the setting serene. It is a great peak point on a mini hike in The Forest

Lovely hike, easy enough for the whole family. Crosses the stream many times, some rocky footing.

Great place, nice hiking trails

A good walk and small fall. Kids enjoyed the walk. The water was cold. When you drive to the mountain, make sure to follow the directions to drive down to the end which have parking for the fall.

Its a very nice and short hike to a 50 feets waterfall, its 1 mile round trip with a little elevation gain if you park your car at additional parking lot, and it has lot of shades which an idea for summer. I really enjoyed this hike and shot some good photos.

Easy hike. Only about 2 miles round trip. Waterfall is nice this year because of the rains.

Love this place

A stunning composition of rock, waterfall and light

I love it, best place to go hiking with my son and you can bring bicycles to ride in the trails or use the road. Uphill is warm, in the waterfalls its cold. Bring enough water.

My favorite local place to hike. There are often a lot of people here on weekends. Children friendly hike of about 3/4 mile in. Watch for rattlesnakes in the warmer months!

Great coffee and great service

Beautiful hiking spot but the trash cans were overflowing when I went and the pit toilet needed to be cleaned on the outside where you sit down.

Nice place, very shaded

Nice, easy

A fairly easy trail but has enough stream crossings and bits of climbing to keep it interesting. I went on a Monday morning and it was virtually empty.

Can park by the street

Excellent little fall kids will enjoy

Very enjoyable, cool, shady, easy hike, with some water trickling (in September) where a waterfall would normally be. Its just a short trail.At the beginning theres a few camping spots available on a first come-first served basis. Hang your Adventure Pass when you park.

Acceible treck grest water fall close to the city.

Best place to visit 1/2 mile from parking. I visited this place in spring because it is still raining. I like it because you walk on trails near by the creek and a lots of shade area around because I do not like that much sun. There is a park ground. Parking adjacent and restrooms at the campground. Pretty greenery and beautiful water sounds around the trail area. Must go.

Plenty of water in spring time, fun place to bring family with. The fall is small, but beautiful like a painting.

Awesome nature walk

Explored Millard Falls 4-20-19. While only a 1/2 mile hike to the falls its not a flat, easy 1/2 mile. You need to have good balance and flexibility. The falls were flowing nicely. Youre better off just walking through the 2-6 deep water. The parking lot was full but we had the falls to our self for a few minutes. Theres an enterprising woman dressed in look-a-like USFS attire (but no patches or insignia) selling day use Adventure Passes for $7 ($2 over actual cost) at the parking lot entrance. On the way out just give your pass to someone coming in. On the road up there youll come to what looks like a trailhead parking lot but you need to make a hard left (sign says additional parking) and drive down a steep grade for 1/4 mile to get to the correct parking lot.

I nice, relaxing, 20 min hike to a small waterfall

Great hike!!

A great hike by the creek.

Its a short hike, but its beautiful! My dog enjoyed the hike through the woods and was excited to splash in the small pool under the cascade, even though shes not a fan of her baths.

Great hike spot. Not many people during my visit around 8 to 10am on a Sunday. Easy enough to bring kids along but theyll need help at some spots when crossing the river and rocks. Theres a camp ground before the hike to the waterfall.

So many hiking trails. Each time we come, we find something new. Millard Falls trail is short but filled with boulders and tree trunks. Kids and adults alike scrambled up to see the falls. Sparse but pretty much year round. Parking is great. Will need a permit. Make sure to bring it, because they dont sell day passes there.

Awesome walk great for camping

Beautiful hike today. The falls are running nicely. Beautiful greenery in an alcove, sheets of water cascading down the face of the rock. Stunning.

A beautiful hike in the Angeles Forest. We went past the falls toward the Dawn Mine. Its a great hike for dogs since youre constantly crossing back and forth over the stream. Lots of opportunities for hot pups to cool off and drink some water.

One of my go to favs! Great hike!

A good hike with the kids. Will definitely go back.

This is a very short hike, its completely shady. Its good for hiking with family and pets, definitely recommend this. Watch this video.

Heres the Rundown:When youre winding through the road towards the trails, youll be driving on for a hot minute. Your passenger will start to question if the road even leads to anywhere and if you even have the right directions. The truth is: you do. And you can cite this review as a source. Just keep driving and youll eventually see a trail head and another road that leads even more down the mountain. If you want the Millard trails which goes towards the waterfall, keep driving down.[TIP:] DRIVE SLOW. I dont know who taught yall how to drive, but some people here drive down the narrow winding roads like they own the road. DUDE. The road is so narrow and it winds around the mountain. You cant see if theres incoming cars. Drive SLOW. And some people even drive in the middle of the narrow lanes. Are you kidding?Eventually, youll make it to the parking lot. Most likely, it will be empty. Dont freak out. There isnt a serial killer there.. probably. When you leave your car and start going towards the start of the trail, youll see a bunch of signs. The ones that stuck out to me where If you encounter a bear.... and Parking passes must be displayed.Obviously, none of us want to get eaten by a bear. Dont worry. Im pretty sure there are no bears.. probably.And obviously none of us have parking passes and we dont want to get a ticket. Dont worry, I think youll be okay. Everyone there didnt have a parking pass, so Im pretty sure that sign is bull.Just go.So... As you go through the trail, youll be walking alongside the gorgeous stream that trails to God knows where. As long as you stick by the stream, you shouldnt get lost. If you do get lost, then youre an i--.As you follow the trail, you will realize that the trail gets cut off all the freaking time. Yes, you have to cross the stream. You have to step on those rocks to cross to other side and continue the trail.When you cross the stream, I cannot stress how careful you need to be. Its like 2 or 3 feet wide and maybe 8 inches deep, but I mean you still have to be careful. Maybe wear pants with zippered pockets so your phone doesnt fall out of your pocket.Unless youre a genius, your foot will most likely end up in the water. Just give in to it. Its inevitable. By the end of the hike, your shoes will be drenched. Sorry not sorry.When you reach the waterfall, its gorgeous. I went after it rained so it was really lively. There were two females that took Instagram pictures for like 20 minutes, and they even brought bathing suits.Let me tell you. The pool of water that the waterfall fills is not that deep. You cant swim in it. It was probably maybe like a few inches taller than my ankle. But if you want to take cool pictures in the water -- which is freezing by the way -- then bring some spare clothes.

Essy acces to the fall

Nice hike next to the city

Another great and easy waterfall

We always enjoy this hike relatively easy and lots of shade and a waterfall at the end

Great

This place is gorgeous for an easy hike and a picnic.

Good spot to hike down. Gold mine must visit which is not too far..

Short hike

It a really good place for enjoy time I leith the fsmily

Easy peaceful hike, 15min. up to the falls and 15 back.

Nice short trail with rewarding finish ---- from here you can take some very exciting side trails that are more challenging, taking you above the waterfall and to the mines---- very worth exploring...
