Burnt Ranch Falls is an easy out-and-back hike in California's Shasta-Trinity National Forest, on the Big Bar Ranger District. The trail is less than a mile long, with a one-way climb of about 500 feet from the trail's low point of 779 feet to its high point of 1,319 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 78°F with only about seven wet days, and October highs near 74°F. July and August average highs in the mid-90s, and winter brings frequent wet days and a few snow days. The trail is natural-surface and bikes are allowed, so it works for a short walk or a ride. Burnt Ranch Campground is just 0.1 mile away, and the Gray Falls Trail and Gray Falls Nature Trail both lie within about 2 miles. Climbers can find So-So Grotto about 3 miles off.
