The hike to the falls is mainly downhill. When you get to the San Diego River crossing, you’ll have an imperceptible uphill to the falls. It’s important to save energy to hike back out to the trailhead. Note that this is a one-way profile.
The hike back out from the falls can be tough for some. Be in decent shape and use these benches on the trail if you need to.
Whichever way you hike in, you’ll need a permit to enter the area around Cedar Creek Falls.
Behind the toilets is a water fill.
Just above the parking lot is a toilet.
The parking area isn’t that large, try to get here early before it fills up.

There are lots of signs warning you of the dangers here. Make sure you are prepared for the hike. Unfortunately the rescue helicopter pays a lot of visits here . Don’t be one of those people.
