Sturtevant Falls in Santa Anita Canyon above Arcadia, California is a 50 foot waterfall. This is big by Southern California standards.
The falls are named for William M. Sturtevant, a pioneer in the San Gabriel Mountains. He operated a popular camp in the canyon beginning in the 1890's.
The falls are reached from Chantry Flats via the Gabrielino Trail. A good webpage with directions is HERE. This is a popular area, especially on warm summer weekends, but people come up to enjoy the falls year round.
Trees are growing in the wash in front of the falls, so I hade to split the photos below.
