“Chasing Ghosts” (Bailey Canyon Falls and Dana Point Waterfall – January 21, 2017 to January 22, 2017)
It wasn’t until about 3:45pm when we finally got home, but we definitely had to be careful driving up the I-5 as there were a few moments of standing water even on the fast and car pool lanes…
Legoland And Waterfalls Trip Itinerary – January 6, 2017 to January 8, 2017
This trip was really about letting the kids have fun at Legoland. However, Julie, Tahia, and I showed up a day earlier than my brother’s family. Therefore, we had an opportunity to fit in a waterfall hike…
Dana Point Waterfall
The Dana Point Waterfall was something we weren’t really made aware of until recently when it popped up on one of the Orange County blogs. Perhaps part of the reason why this place was so unknown…
“Hiking or Legoland” (Cedar Creek Falls and Legoland – January 6, 2017 to January 8, 2017)
For just two hours in the park, I didn’t want to spend this kind of money. But Julie was insistent on us going in to park. Our verbal disagreement made the parking attendant uncomfortable and then…
“New Year, New Waterfall (sort of…)” (Aliso Viejo Waterfall – January 2, 2017)
Speaking of unpleasant, the water definitely had an unpleasant smell so we knew very well that this water was polluted. But that didn’t stop Tahia from running towards the foaming plunge pool where…
Aliso Viejo Waterfall
The Aliso Viejo Waterfall was something that I would have never guessed would exist as it sat amidst a bustling and continually sprawling suburban area. Indeed, in well-developed cities like this…

Even though this is a waterfalls website, we recognize that there are many highlights in the Asian countries (both involving and not involving waterfalls). So we’ve come up with this page to pay homage to some of the highlights that we…
The French Language
One of the things that I learned when Julie and I turned our attention internationally to go waterfalling is that travel is all about building bridges between your own perception of the world and what actually happens in the real world…

Iguazu Falls: Paid Excursions and Activities

“Second Wave” (Eaton Canyon Falls – December 10, 2016)
Near the base of the Eaton Canyon Falls were some roses as well as another ledge where there was another bouquet of dried up flowers. I’m betting that these were to commemorate lost loved ones…
My Essential Backpacking Gear
While there are thousands (maybe millions) of backcountry equipment lists out there, I’ve found them to be pretty generic and not particularly helpful or induce a kind of paralysis by analysis as you wind up frozen with too many choices and things to think about…
Circle Island Tour of Taiwan Itinerary – October 26, 2016 to November 6, 2016
This was a trip where Mom and I split off so Dad could hang out with friends from his college days. Although I had waterfalling targets throughout the island based on the exploits from those who cataloged…
Japan Self-Driving With The Parents Itinerary – October 13, 2016 to October 26, 2016
This itinerary was actually one-half of a two-country, 3.5-week trip encompassing both Japan and Taiwan. In this itinerary write-up, we’re only focusing on Japan since this leg of the trip could easily stand out as…
“Cortisol Levels” (Monrovia Canyon Falls – November 13, 2016)
We stared and watched as one guy was squared off against another with a third guy nearby either going to join in or just watch. But one of the guys looked like he wanted to get something from the…
