Eaton Canyon Falls Trail is a beautiful 3.5 mile out-and-back trail located in the Eaton Canyon Natural Area Park near Pasadena, California. The trail is considered moderately challenging and usually takes an average of 1 hour and 28 minutes to complete. It is a very popular area for hiking and running as it features a number of streams crossings and plenty of wildflowers in the springtime. Furthermore, the trail offers dog-friendly experiences with proper leashes. The spectacular views of gorgeous waterfalls at the end of the trail make this hike one of the must-dos in the California area.
