Description:
Nojoqui Falls is in a County Park. This can be a busy place. We got to the Falls and were alone. But within five minutes several groups of people joined us. So pick your time wisely or you will not have the solitude to enjoy these falls. Also the last 100' of the trail is a little bit dicey-the trail got washed away several years back.
From Wikipedia
: a seasonal waterfall in the Santa Barbara County, California park of the same name. Nojoqui has been described as "one of the most graceful waterfalls in California" and "the highlight of the scenic drive along U.S. 101 between the coast and Solvang." The falls drop nearly 100 feet over a sandstone wall of the Jalama Formation. From the sign posted near the falls: "Unlike most waterfalls, which gradually erode upstream, the Nojoqui Falls have built outward from the cliff over time.
