Hemet sits under the San Jacintos with desert canyons on the far side of the range, and thirteen falls land inside fifty miles. Tahquitz Falls is the Palm Springs trip, two miles round trip through Indian Canyons to a 60-foot drop. Big Falls above Forest Falls is much taller at roughly 500 feet and asks for less than a mile of walking. Dogs are allowed there. Most of these depend on winter rain, so timing matters more here than distance does.

Located at 33.7341°N, -116.9969°W
