Three Falls Ranch Trailhead — Attraction in Alpine

There are two trailheads. The one near the bottom of the three falls housing development has a large parking lot and bathrooms. The trail meanders up through the meadows that are between all the new houses. This time of year the wildflowers were popping. I made the mistake of starting at the upper trailhead so I only saw the bottom 3/4 mile of the lower trail. The upper trail starts just off the upper part of Three Falls Way. The trail goes past several small waterfalls. You do go across the top of the large waterfall but you can't really see it. It looks like there used to be a trail to the bottom of the big waterfall but there's a house and no trespassing signs there now. This trail seems fine if you live in the area and like the low din of lawn mowing, construction and even the occasional shout between workers while you are enjoying nature. I went about 2 miles up the trail and never got away from the views of the multi-million dollar mansions and the noise of the neighborhood. Not really worth the time it took to...

My FAVORITE spring hike. The wildflowers are blooming (late April/early May)! If you want to see the falls there's a better hike on All trails. This one is good for the spring super bloom. I didn't go all the way this time but I think you can still cross the road near the end of this hike to make your way over to the falls if you want. There is parking at the trail head and bathrooms with flush toilets. They are building a super fancy neighborhood around this area but the trail is still in tact and worth it. Go for the flowers, you won't...

Easy hike with amazing views. The trailhead and parking lot is easy to miss. You’ll probably wind up driving around the super fancy mansions under development in the area. There is construction so maybe check out the trail during the weekends. It’s quite and secluded. Very well maintained and relatively flat for biking and trail running. Lots of beautiful wildflowers in bloom right now with stunning snow caps in the background. The waterfall is powerful and well worth the hike. You can backtrack or take the road back to the car....
