McArthur - Burney Falls

I'd been on this trail once before, but I was still surprised by the beauty of this waterfall. I was there on at 100+ degree day and when you drop down to the lower pool, you're immediately cooled down by the mist of the falls. It's a great place to be on a hot day, and a necessary stop if you've never been before.

The first section of the trail all the way to the falls is a paved trail and very heavily traveled. There are a few different trails surrounding the falls, including a hike to the Lake Britton and back. The falls loop trail is only about a mile, and is worth the trip since you have to climb out the the canyon anyway, you might as well climb out the other side and see the top of the falls.
