Bakersfield sits on the floor of the southern San Joaquin Valley at the western edge of the southern Sierra Nevada and nearby Tehachapi foothills, where arid valley plains give way to steep river canyons, gorges and chaparral-covered slopes. Waterfall hikes within a short drive are typically moderate, following creek corridors and shaded oak and pine stands, with narrow canyon scrambles and short elevation gains that reward hikers with dramatic valley-to-peak views and contrasts between agricultural lowlands and rugged mountain terrain.
