Feather Falls is a moderate, full-day adventure that reflects exactly what Unplugged Adventures is about, moving with intention, earning the views, and sharing the experience with good people. This is a trail we personally love, so we’ve done the work behind the scenes to make it safe, organized, and enjoyable for everyone who joins us.

No workouts planned… yet. 😉
Just movement, nature, and community.

Event Overview

This hike follows the well-known Feather Falls Loop in Plumas National Forest, leading to a dramatic 410-foot waterfall - one of the tallest in California. The route weaves through forested sections, canyon views, and open stretches before arriving at the falls overlook.

We’ll move at a steady, conversational pace with breaks as needed. The goal isn’t speed, it’s presence.
