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.
Famous quotes containing the words salmon, creek and/or falls:
“There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Ah, it is sweet on the hills,
to dance in sacred faun-pelt,
to dance until one falls faint,
to beat the sacred dance-beat
until one drops down
worn out.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
