Hidden Falls Overlook Platform, within Hidden Falls Regional Park, Placer County, California

[Robert Sydnor]

Dear Colleagues:

    Attached is a brief report on the Hidden Falls Overlook Platform.  It is in stable .pdf format, so that you can upload this report with no predicaments.

   I have be blessed to view hundreds of waterfalls as a geologist.  A majority of these waterfalls have been easy to view.  Not so with Hidden Falls; go figure about the name.  Fortunately a wooden platform has been constructed so the the public can (finally) view these obscure waterfalls without slipping and falling.  The best time to view Hidden Falls is during the early Springtime, in April and May, when the volume of water in Deadman Creek is optimum.  The volume of water is least during the Autumn months after a drought.

    Respectfully submitted, Robert H. Sydnor, AERC Trail Master and Engineering Geologist (who understands how waterfalls are formed, geologically)
