6 hike-in campsites- Picnic tables and campfire rings, vault toilets, no piped water. Seasonal stream water may be available (treat before using). However, water flow may be low or non-existent due to reduced rainfall. Millard Falls is just half a mile from the trailhead, up one of the most pleasant canyon in the San Gabriel Mountains. The 50-foot tall boulder-topped beauty makes a great destination for a short, sylvan hike. Millard Falls is one of the Los Angeles waterfall hikes.
To see Millard Falls, embark up a dirt road through Millard Campground. Just beyond the campground, the trail up the canyon turns off to the right. Millard Falls Trail is easy to spot, located along a creek that spills over the dirt road. If there is a strong flow of water, you are in luck; the falls above will be spectacular. If the water is so high that you would be afraid to cross the road in a sedan, use the same caution before heading to the falls (the trek may be wetter than you bargained for). On most days, you can make it to the falls with dry feet. Then again, you will have to cross over several slippery rocks, so be careful.
