An ideal venture into the American wilderness, Eaton Canyon is a sprawling nature reserve located at the base of the rocky mountain range of San Gabriel Mountains. This scenic wedge of nature juts into the busy city of Pasadena, inviting you to take a break from the manufactured experiences of the modern world by returning to the beauty of nature. As you venture deep into the steep valley of Eaton Canyon, you will find yourself on a lovely trail of wildflowers and dry shrubbery intersected by a plethora of bubbling creeks. Each creek you come across presents a new challenge to the hike, where you have to use your wits to skips across the rocks and scale boulders to cross over. While the hike is peppered with the occasional waterfall, they are incomparable to the Eaton Canton Falls that greet you at the end of it. With a susurrating gush and a gentle spray that provides a cool respite from the summer heat, this delightful waterfall is the perfect finishing touches to a pleasant hike. Here, you can choose to relax on the cluster of boulders before heading back or wade in waist-deep into the clear pool of water for a splash. Perfect in any season, Eaton Canyon is a delicate feast for your eyes.
