Review:

Cedar Creek Falls is a very popular hiking destination near Ramona, with the trailhead on Eagle Peak Road. The moderately difficult 3-mile trail descends towards the valley until it reaches a waterfall that drops 80 feet down into a cool, clear pool popularly known as the Devil’s Punchbowl. The trail on the way down is pleasantly shaded and surrounded by local plants such as scrub oak, catclaw acacia, poodle-dog bush, California buckwheat, and sage. Enjoy a swim at the pool because on the way back you will pay for the pleasure: The elevation gain up the hill is 1,102 feet.
