Day Hiking
Three water falls are within this 1.5 mile hike, near Arroyo Grande. The hike is relatively easy with a couple spots being a little more challenging; with short, steep climbs. The setting is within Big Canyon and Santa Lucia Wilderness. You will follow Big Creek and will easily find Lower, Middle Big Falls. It will be a little more challenging to reach Upper Big Fall, an 80 foot water fall; due to the steep climb.
