Hermit Falls — photo spot in Monrovia, CA 91016, USA
Hermit Falls
Hermit Falls is a small multi-tiered waterfall in the San Gabriel foothills with rocky cascades and clear pools — best after winter/spring rains. The trail is short but uneven and can be slippery; flows are seasonal. Arrive early on weekdays to avoid crowds and secure limited roadside parking; weekends may require a parking permit or shuttle depending on access. Morning and late-afternoon light bring warm tones; overcast days are ideal for even waterfall exposures.
