Black Star Canyon Falls in Silverado, California

As a mid-summer hike, I headed out to capture and see the last trickle of Black Star Canyon Falls. This fun river trail is approximately 7 miles (round trip) with plenty of boulder climbing and scrambling to get to the very end! As a unique, double waterfall, Black Star Canyon Falls is always a treat! My favorite part is climbing in to the cave at the top of the smaller of the two joined waterfalls.
