Monrovia Falls

The bike was beautiful! Not a lot of shade, so water is a must. Makes sure your extremely hydrated. The views were beautiful. This hike is not for the faint hearted but doesnt require a Olympic medal for hiking. Just be sure to remain hydrated, bring your own shade.

Great place to hike for a beginner like me. Not too long or difficult trail. Best part is the waterfall at the end that makes the trek worth it!

Nice and easy hike. The waterfall is a tiny one but considering how close this park is, it’s a nice weekend morning hike. It is quite surprising that the park’s visitor center kept a few amphibious animals.

Gorgeous scenery. Awesome beginner hiking place where you can bring your dogs and possibly your children. You will have a crowd at the waterfall who pollute the stream but kids will be kids.

Nice moderate 2 mile hike up to the small but beautiful falls. $5 admission $10/weekends to enter Canyon park. You can park below free and walk the road about a mile too. Picnic tables, water, and bathrooms in park lots. Family friendly.

Pictures dont do justice to how peaceful and beautiful walking this trail is with a rewarding view of the waterfall at the end

The best place to go and walk with family and friends. Is it a almost two ours Walk. But be careful with the bears around there.

Burned in the Bobcat Fire, confirmed by the city of Monrovia twitter account. Probably going to be a long time before it reopens. Very sad. I loved it here.

A wonderful and short walk to the waterfall. This place has many trees so it will be a shady hike even on a hot summer day!

I have been to the falls so many times over the last 50+ years. When I was much younger I could ride my pony to the falls. Now I hike with my grandchildren. Great memories working on the trail with my children toward clamshell.

Great little hike that will take you through a small and short adventure. The pathways and distance is great for folks wanting to go in a short hike with great view, someone getting started to hike or want a quick get away from the city view. There is a waterfall in the end that some folks stay at and picnic or rest before heading back down.

So peaceful and great walk through the forest. No noise, just you and nature.

Only been here once. And I feel in love with this place. We made it to the water fall. It was not a hard hike for us. And we dont hike that much. I will be back.

Great hike with some beautiful sights. It might seem a little tough at times, but the setting at the top is well worth the effort. It is an amazing feeling to watch the waterfall after a good hike. Relax for a bit, take in the beauty and practice some grounding techniques. The inner calm is an added plus that isnt expected. After calmly hiking back down. You will feel rejunivated and calm. Happy trails.

It is a nice hike. You should go now since it rained the water fall will be nicer and beautiful.

Love this hike! Bonus waterfall when you get to the end!!

A great place to get out in the woods so close to the city. It can get quite busy so be prepared to look for parking if you wait too late to arrive. Better yet, park outside of the park and walk in.

Hiked back to the falls for the first time in almost 30 years. Still as beautiful as I remember. I was also able to catch a photo of deer and squirrel.

Loved this trail so much

Love this type of hike. Lots to see and a moderate hike. Topping it with the lovely waterfall.

Perfect hike for family of all ages!

Love this place. Short hike to the fall. The hike is not directly in the sun, it mostly has shade the whole way. Easy enough for the kids to do. Really nice views.

Beautiful hike that was very relaxing. However, I managed to lose my gold chain while I was there. Im actually pretty devastated, so if anyone manages to find a chain with a horse and jockey pendant on it Id probably worship you. If by some chance you find it, look me up on insta and message me.

Short and easy path to reach natural.

Was here for a yoga retreat 1 week before the whole COVID mess started. Beautiful hike to the waterfall and not too difficult for my chubby butt.

Went on a warm day so the canopy trees helped with the heat. There was 2 paths from the parking lot. 1 which was more of a goat path with steep drops on one side. The other Im assuming was a little less treacherous. Nevertheless we took path 1 with my 9 year old and he did fine. Once the 2 paths converge its wide open space.

Water is flowing nicely and there were deer at the entrance. Easy if you follow the road up but the trail is fun and a decent hike

Short or long hike, nice side of mountain trail well shaded. Cute little water fall at the end makes it feel like a reward once you arrive.

Its a good place to bring your family. The trail is not hard. Its an easy hike. The waterfalls is amazing!

Great light hike to a small water fall, surprisingly there were not too many people as used to

Nice easy hike to a small waterfall. Its a very easy and pleasant walk/hike. Clean bathrooms as well.

Fun!! Safe...maybe a bear or two now and then

Very popular, but great hour hike to see the falls.

Short hike that is well shaded. Great for beginners, elders, kids, and family. There was several little chill spots just off trail right by the stream. My partner and I set up a hammock and took a nap in the shade for an hour.

Easy hike, lots of shade on the trail. Parking entrance is closed on Tuesdays. There are 3 different parking lots with restrooms at each one. The further the lot, the shorter the hike to the falls (Bill Cull Trail > Nature Trail > Falls Trail).

Really beautiful place to go and hike.

Nice easy shaded hike to the waterfall. You can pay to park closer if you have young children.Tried visiting during pandemic. Closed.

Cute small little hike. Lead us to a small waterfall. Children friendly.

I came here to hike for my 1st time ever. I Absolutely loved it, the trail isnt tough at all and is definitely a fun place to take your family, or that special someone to enjoy the scenery and sounds of nature(and its cool and shady the whole way) The waterfall was nice, pretty small but nice. It has a good place to sit and enjoy once you get there and there are other trails you can take as well. Overall I give this hiking trail a 5 star because I had so much fun even by myself and I found an awesome walking stick. Oh and 1 more thing make sure to bring bug repellant I didnt get bit but Im sure some will so be prepared. Until the next review

Very crowded on a weekend, but a lovely easy hike with preschoolers.

Great short hike.

My favorite hiking trail. Short trail with a lot of shade. Great getaway for me

Beautiful hiking trail with a mini waterfall at the end. Must go again.

Good little hike. And the girl at the Nature Center was very helpful be sure to check that out

Great hiking trail, especially on cool days.

Fresh Air, wild amimals

Really beautiful

Nice hike and beautiful place.

Great way to lose yourself in nature and get away. Only bad thing is the mosquitos, wear bug spray.

This is a short and easy and fun hike! Watch out for bears though! Also, this is a great hike with dogs as it doesn’t tire them! And it has clean bathrooms. I’m only giving it a 4-star because the trail literally ends at the small waterfall...

Beautiful easy hike with a small waterfall at the end. Park outside in the residential and you wont have to pay a parking fee. I walked to the entrance and the hiking trail is shortly after.

Great views the entire way very little sun exsposure great for first time hikers

Beautiful tree filled canyon and waterfall. This place is close to the city but feels worked away. On separate occasions I have seen a bear, rattle snake, and deer.

Family friendly hike. Different starting points for beginners and more seasoned hikers. The waterfall is beautiful. Its not too crowded. The trail is mostly clean but I wish others were better about picking up after themselves.

Beautiful trail and scenery, fairly easy hiking, stream runs throughout, dogs welcome

Beautiful easy ish hike to a waterfall. It was green and shady and felt like we had left SoCal for a bit.

The canyon was incredibly pretty and relaxing. There are some cacti in blooom, and the waterfall is currently still here! An extremely fun hike, no matter which trail you take

Loved the trail. Easy to reach.

Nice little city park with easy hiking trails. Opens gate at 9am but will not accept state park parking decal, parking in the park is $6 with limited parking spaces.

Very green and shady

Very nice and easy hike to do with kids.

Short hike with plenty of shade and gorgeous setting. Easy, and worth the trip. Parking is $5.

The hike is entertaining but it’s very short, and when you get to the falls there is nowhere else to go. For a person who hikes a lot and like long hikes I would not suggest this one because it’s not that good.

Small water fall is the perfect ending for a short hike

This is my sweet escape! I love doing the trails, such a zen place. The water fall at the end of the trail is so refreshing.

Great hike if you park outside the reserve its nearly a 4 mile hike half of that up hill.

Great any day, but if you have a fear dogs just know many people take dogs without a leash.

As always this is a nice little easy hike. I think about 45 minutes up/ back. The falls is nice since we had rain. Its 10am right now and its getting crowded. Early morning is your best time to go without the crowd.

Love this place ♡ super clean and is kids friendly.

Its a nice short hike with plenty of shade great for beginners and children the trail can get a little congested but its not to bad ... Stay on the main trails as much a possible as there is poison oak everywhere... Also dont drink the water you will get sick ...

I love walking up here especially early in the morning. Everything is so quiet and clean. One recommendation is to come early if you dont want it to be to crowded; especially on the weekend.

Nice little trail to go hiking, pet friendly, nice little waterfall with awesome trails. Picnic areas near parking with bathroom too. Clean location...

Wonderful waterfall at the end of the trail perhaps a bit crowded but overall a lovely and fairly easy hike I take my seven-year-old here quite frequently and he has no trouble with the trails. So great place for families and even senior citizens to enjoy a wonderful Southern California Chaparral experience

Its the easiest hike. A lot of shade protects against sunlight, so you dont need to worry about exposing to UV heavily in this hot summer. However, no challenge for hiking experts.

Beautyfull!!!

One of the most beautiful waterfalls that you can drive then hike to in the Southern California region. Please pick up your trash and if you find the heart for it, pick up any trash that you may find along the way.

Beautiful waterfall. Been here like 5x now and never get tired of soaking underneath waterfall, because It give me strength and wash away my negativity..

It was great! When I arrived there at 435pm,the entrance side gate was closed. Fortunately, the street parking at Ridgedale and Canyon blvd was not that far from the park entrance.When I walked to the gate there was a big board stating that walk in 9pm daily.I invested lots of time and money to get there. After work, I stopped by ATM for the parking fee. I went home to get change and to pick up my two dogs. I live in Los Angeles.This being my first time visit, I wasnt sure about the drinking water situation. I had to go back to my parked car to get bottle water. By the time I reached the ranger station,the restroom was already closed. It closed at 430 pm daily. I almost missed the trail entrance. The trail was narrowed and stiff inclined. The foliage on the trail was thick and heavy. It got slightly dark once I started to walk on the trail. About 150 yards or so on the trail, there was a sign stating that you are entering a bear country.This scared me a bit. I didnt see anybody on the trail until later. It was a great work out. The trail was beautiful. Thanks to clearly mark signs to the water falls,I didnt get lost.The water fall was much smaller than Eaton Canyons water falls, but the trail was much more beautiful. Heading down I encountered several peoples heading up. I like to go there again more earlyier in the day.

Very nice place for the family .

Fun easy nature hike ending at a little waterfall

Its a great hiking place! Definitely come here with family or friends

Awesome place with a scenic views and outrageously hike trails

Loved the hike, had lots of shades. The trail was easy enough I used my baby carrier for my 5 month old.

Great trail. Not for everyone. Trail can be steep and narrow. But so worth it

Nice 2 mile hike

Nice and quiet place to walk around and relax.

Its a holiday and pack of people and dog and kid here. The trail is not difficult and parking is not much. I saw people parking on canyon road to walk up to the gate. Parking is $5 and there is 2 parking lot inside.

Great Hike!

The trail is not hard to hike. It is easy for me, 55 years old. As if walking on a regular road. Hiking is like taking a walk after meal.Parking lot was full when I got there at 2 PM. I parked at roadside, not close to entrance.The falls still has water falling. Its hight is about 4-story.

Easy hike.

A great hike with plenty of the beauty of nature

It was a nicely shaded path and not heavily traveled. The waterfall was a nice stop to rest and it was a fairly easy hike. Only thing was that the gate was closed to the parking lot so we had to park in the neighborhood.

You have to make reservations

We encountered a medium bear.....very busy eating his greens.

This hike was rather enjoyable. The stream from the waterfall is nearby for most of the hike up until you reach the falls.

Definitely will come back!

Amazing! Good trails and great views.

Its a real easy hike to the waterfall. Real pretty and have a lot of places where you can stop and have a picnic. The waterfall is kind of small but real peacefull and beautiful. Kid and dog friendly.

Very easy hike that has tons of shade and appropriate for kids and pets.. Be care though, as the path can get narrow and the fall is deep.

Super easy hike. My 4 year old can hike the whole way to the waterfall. Its flat for most of the way but it does have an incline towards the end of the trail. Parking is $5 on the weekdays and $6 on weekends. Park is closed every Tuesday.
