Feather Falls has to be one of the best waterfalls in California (outside of Yosemite), especially in the spring.! It's located in Plumas National Forest and can be visited year-round. The hike is 7 to 9 miles depending on which trail you choose to take. There is an elevation loss of about 1000 feet on the way to the falls.

There is no entry fee.
