Rose Valley Falls is a magnificent two-tier 200-foot waterfall located on the west end of the Topatopa Mountains in Los Padres National Forest. Rose Valley Falls is the tallest waterfall in the range and while it is an easy hike to the base of the 100-foot tall lower tier of the waterfall (0.8 miles round trip with 150 feet of elevation gain), it is adventure to reach the more impressive upper tier.


Rose Valley Falls Trail begins from Rose Valley Campground, Set out from the back of the campground up a 0.4-mile long gradual trail to the base of the lower falls. An early creek crossing provides hope of a flowing waterfall. Bays and oaks provide enjoyable shade along a straightforward track. As you approach Lower Rose Valley Falls, cascades will appear in the creek to the left of the trail.

To get to the trailhead: Take the 101 Freeway to Ventura and head inland up Route 33 to Ojai. Continue another fifteen miles past Ojai into the mountains to the Sespe Road turnoff. There will be a sign for Rose Valley Falls. Drive 3 more miles and turn right on Chief Peak Road, which ends at the trailhead at Rose Valley Campground after half a mile. Display your Adventure Pass and start up the trail.
