Monrovia Falls

Monrovia Falls is closed indefinitely due to the Bobcat Fire and mudslides. Read more on the CityofMonrovia.org website.

The Monrovia Falls are at the end of the main trail located in Monrovia Canyon Park. The park is easy to locate and has ample parking. Keep in mind you do have to pay a fee of $6 on weekends and $5 on weekdays. Additionally, all cars need to exit the parking areas at 5PM. Alternatively, you can park in the neighborhood outside of the park and add an extra mile to your hike.

This hike is perfect for beginners and is both family and dog-friendly! It's also a great way to change up the desert scenery found in the majority of hikes in LA County.

There are several starting points to access the main trail that leads to the falls. Starting from the higher parking lot provides you with a distance of 1.5 miles out and back. Once on the trail, follow it up the ridge and directly to the falls. It can get narrow at times, so be mindful of those who want to pass you as you enjoy the scenery.

Keep in mind this area is bear territory, so be sure to pack out any trash and dispose of it in the proper trash cans provided at the entrance!
