Salmon Creek Falls is a 120 foot (36 meter) waterfall near Gorda in Los Padres National Forest, Monterey County, California, USA. The falls are just 0.3 miles from CA-1, and this is a very popular hike.
The falls are on the boundary to the Silver Peak Wilderness, and the Salmon Creek Trail is a poular access point to the wilderness area.

“Every one knows about the young man who falls in love with the chorus-girl because she can kick his hat off, and his sister’s friends can’t or won’t.

—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
