I had the privilege of hiking this trail last weekend. No water flowing in the lower part of the trail, but there was plenty later on and a nice cascade at the falls. Yes, lots of people, but I can't complain, I was one of the multitude enjoying this lovely spot. Part of the fun was seeing the joyful expressions on other hikers' faces.
Thanks for uploading this content. I'm gonna hike the Eaton Canyon Trail next weekend. I actually used your reviews when i did the Mt. Wilson and Baily Canyon Trails in the past.
I grew up about a mile from there, back in the 60's it was technically illegal to hike past the bridge to the falls but nobody really cared. the pool at the 1st falls was actually deep enough to swim in. There were stairs that would take you to the top and then several other waterfalls with great pools for skinny dipping. Those falls are now forbidden by law because of rescues involving injury and even death
just went to eaton canyon 5/2023, with the recent rains the hike is nothing like the video. there are at least 6 water crossings and they can be a little dangerous. the rocks are slippery and the water is moving fast, you will get wet. i did see people get hurt. that being said, for the experience hiker it shouldn't be a problem. for the casual hiker, me, it's a challenge. use your best judgement, no shame in turning back at any point
This year is record breaking snow and rain - every stream in SoCal will be flowing more than usual. In a few weeks things should be back to normal conditions, which you see here. The conditions now are not normal.
Does anyone notice cats near this parking lot? I recieved foster kittens today found in Pasadena at a hiking trail. Trying to solve where this could have been so I can find the mom.
La Jolla Indian reservation has fine gold and some mini pickers , gemstones etc , 50$ to enter and in vehicle camp or first come first serve camp sites . ✌🏽
Theres actually a second, bigger water fall above the first waterfall , just a few miles away. However , the only thing is that to get there is by climbing a mountain around the first waterfall to get there, which is dangerous but is possible if taken slow and steady.

Just hiked it today definitely a fun hike crossing raging waist deep water and almost getting washed away on the last 3 river crossings

Just got back, thank you for all the detailed instructions. It definitely saved us! Thanks!

When were the stairs removed?
@@1_Bad_Z I think late 70's or early 80's
I wish I had watched this before I hiked it. There were zero trail markers and I went the wrong way (right).
Amazing place, really stunning scenery.
Very nice flow, i wasn't expecting that much water considering it has not rained much at all 4 weeks. thanks for posting.
Looks beautiful
Thank you so very much 🙏🏼💚
Thank you!
Man that little waterfall receded so much, was so full back in the 90s 😢
Awesome thanks!!

Better schedule a week ahead seeing how they only take online reservations with capacity.
Who is policing the amount of people going? I want to go when I'm in LA next spring but don't really want to have to book ahead
Did you mention how many miles from the parking to the waterfalls? I may have missed it
what address should I put on my navigation? to find the parking lot?
Check the website - link in the description.
Put Eaton Canyon Nature Center.
It will take you to the main parking lot and there is a small building open to public with small exhibits.
Do you need bear spary for the trail ?
nope
Hey, this might be a dumb question, but is it free to hike there? Never hiked in my life.
There a fee I gotta pay?
check the link in the description
Easy hike. Don't forget one thing. The water falls is dried up late summer due to the drought (global warming).
It's actually in Alta Dena
Este no
First
Can I swim
if the water is high enough
@@Hikingguy I'm going next weekend
