Set on the eastern flank of the Bay Area, Concord sits amid oak-studded rolling hills that climb toward the Diablo Range, with narrow riparian canyons and seasonal creeks carving short gorges and gullies before reaching the bay and Delta margins. Waterfall hikes in the area are largely moderate ridge-to-canyon routes featuring creekside walks, steep canyon scrambles and occasional short roadside cascades; flows are highly seasonal and the terrain offers broad bay views, varied microclimates and easy access from nearby suburbs.
