Phantom Falls is one of the prettiest in California, but it is hard to get to. Flows from first series of storms in fall and into spring. 

This hike visits 4 other waterfalls, too.  Wildflowers peak in late March.

Expect to see grazing cattle; they are generally safe, but give the occasional bull some space.  Wildflowers best late Feb-April.

GPS recommended.  Sunlight best on falls in early afternoon (many are facing west, and are in shade in the morning).

We measured the falls as 164'  (during the dry season with a tape measure from the lip of the falls to the high waterline in the plunge pool)
