911 experience at Escondido falls

The hike is not for everyone. For all the would be hikers of the Escondido canyon/falls please be advised to wear shoes with good traction soles esp if you plan to hike to the higher tier of the falls. Only this Sunday past, it was an unfortunate site to witness a girl slip and twist […]

something local (Forest Falls)

my boyfriend and i were looking for a place to enjoy nature. weve been all over the area but never forest falls. we tried it and climbed all the way up with our little maltese, she was a fighter, till we could not climb anymore. it was a very pleasant view looking from the bottom […]

Trail Canyon May 17, 2012

Just went to trail canyon falls today. The trail is closed due to fires that happened years ago but I think it is because they don’t have the money to fix and maintain the trail to be honest. You must trespass at your own risk. I parked on Ollie Rd. just yards from the dirt […]

Top of the Top (Escondido Falls)

I’ve been on this hike several times. Every time we go to the bottom of the upper falls. It can be a little sketchy when using the rope to get up the hill but besides that it is very do-able. One thing I did that I noticed no one is talking about is the hike […]

Only 1 of 7 or 8 (Eaton Canyon Fall)

I used to hike Eaton Canyon in the early 70’s. The falls you are showing here is only one of seven or eight. Don’t know if it’s still there but years ago there were some old wooden stairs that went 3/4 up the side of the canyon. At the top of the stairs was a […]

Moonlight Falls

Moonlight Falls is one of those backcountry waterfalls that’s really more of an incidental attraction in an area better known for 14,000ft peaks and alpine lakes…

Spectacular Waterfall this time of year…

Drove into Yosemite and passed this waterfall along the way…due to the large amount of snowfall this year, this waterfall was an absolute beauty to see. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please login or sign up to comment

Eaton Fall – Taller than 30 feet

Hi, I am certain that Eaton Fall is at least 50 feet based on my personal experience; and the guy who wrote “Trails of the Angeles” says it is 60 feet, I believe. Additionally, there are many more falls above Eaton Fall. (I have included two pictures of the first one above it.) There were […]

My dog and I love the hike and the falls (Cedar Creek Falls)

Rocky (black lab mix) and I hike 3-6 miles per day in the Ramona area. We hiked down the new trail to the falls from the Ramona side on Friday, June 10, 2011. We started about 4:30 p.m. bringing enough water for both of us (a hydration pack for me, a 24 oz. bottle for […]

“Glacier Point Falls”

“Glacier Point Falls” is the informal name I’m giving to this very short-lived waterfall. In all the years I’ve visited Yosemite and hiked the John Muir Trail, I never…

Bonita Falls

Bonita Falls is one of those waterfalls where you really have to look past its flaws (most of which were human-induced) in order to appreciate its true beauty and fun…

Lytle Creek Bonita Falls and unnamed falls

Hiked to Bonita Falls in Lytle creek with my son. There are also 3 small caves there. If you climb up to the left of the falls you can see part of the upper falls which are 190′. Bonita is supposedly 160′. I have heard that Hummingbirds are present when the flowers bloom on the […]

Escondido Falls

This was an incredible hike! it was very crowded the day I went but it was well worth seeing the falls!! Whenever I saw pictures of the upper falls, i did not believe the true size, it looks much smaller in photos!! When we got to the lower falls, it was very fanned out with […]

Tahquitz Falls

Tahquitz Falls (pronounced “TAH-kitz” and not “tah-KITZ”) was one of the more spectacular desert waterfalls we’ve ever experienced. Typically, we avoid driving way out to the deserts for waterfalls…

Blackstar Canyon – Hidden falls of Orange County

About a year ago, I was given a newspaper article describing these hidden falls in Orange County. The article itself did not specify the exact location, so I did some hunting online. Based on random websites and blogs, I managed to calculate the directions to this spot. Let me just say that this was NOT […]

Nojoqui Falls Is Just Beautiful!

I’ve been living in Santa Barbara for 3 1/2 years. A photographer friend of mine invited me to go with her to Nojoqui Falls one afternoon, so off we went! It was a beautiful day; not too hot. The hike to the waterfall is very easy and not too long. The base of the falls […]

San Antonio Falls With Snow

My wife and I are fairly new to visiting waterfalls, as we just started at the beginning of the year. We’ve been to several so far, and we love it! A few weeks ago we decided to check out San Antonio Falls. It had just snowed over the weekend, and for some reason I wasn’t […]

Driving up to the snow

Me and a friend were driving up through the 33 to see some snow because snow level had dropped a lot and hadn’t been in the snow for a few years so we went. He showed me a place where he got dropped off for a hike to go through Sespe Creek into Filmore, and […]

Forest Falls more than just Big Falls

There is a lot of unknown in the valley of the falls. First, when you turn off the hwy is the Monkey Face Falls with the profile rock of a monkey head. The falls is normally a trickle except for heavy rains and snow melt. The best part of Big Falls is going past the […]

Malibu Grotto (“The Grotto Falls”)

Small falls but a great hike with lots of Malibu mountain scenery and tons of boulder hopping. I think this made the hike. The hike is all downhill so be aware that you will be going back up when it is time to leave. The trail seems to stop at boulders, but if you take […]
