Epic brother! I would like anyone to point to a UA-camr that gets out and does it more than this guy!! Beautiful waterfall and well done for finding it. Google maps messes with me at the best of times. voted!
@@JesseStLouis ok ya because when I got to the end last time my drone launched but wouldn’t go up past a certain height it was like there was an imaginary wall
Haha I live near there. You hiked into the peoples property past that fence gate. Just above that to the left theres a small trail with signs that guides you past the homes without walking past their gate. The forest service people will tell you not to walk into their property there with the gate that divided into 2 roads. The first set of homes is allowed, the homes with the Avocado farms yes too. Once you are at the oil rig you are past all the private property. To new people don't take the Avocados they will hunt you down! jk...but don't do it.
@@JesseStLouis Oh yah I forgot the Avocados are over there. Haha glad they cleaned up Punch Bowl from all those stupid people messing up the trails. Got them mixed up. But still when you pass the first set of homes they are chill about it. But the last homes once you past the rock bridge the nice lady keeps up on. You hike a bit and get to a fork road, one goes up the hills to the left Forest Rte 5N13 , and the other goes to a closed off gate. If you take the road that goes to the left theres a small hiking trail that goes behind the peoples properties.... I hear those people are not so welcoming. Either way its not like they have a say so in the matter.
My wife and I are headed out to that area, being it's a National Forest you can camp there as long as you're 100' from the water, did you see any signs of dispersed camping? Cool video.
Went up here last week. Definitely still enough water to splash around, but a lot less than what you see in this video. Trail is in better shape though.
Wow looking at all that desert chaparral and surrounding hillside you would never guess there would be such an oasis with an awesome falls like that. Pretty cool exploring!
You may not realize that when at those waterfalls, you were in a earthquake fault zone as seen by all the layers of horizontal and wavy strata. It's always a give away.
This is a sick place one of my favorites! I haven't been there since the fire. There is a total of 5 waterfalls if you keep going. Probably really hard to keep going since the fire but not to many did before the fire either. Awesome video. There are alot of cool hikes in Ojai.
Great video. This first waterfall you approached were on the north fork of the trail I think. Me and a buddy did an overnight trip and took the fork that heads north never reaching bigger waterfalls, next time I will go the other way. Thanks for sharing.
We went, but couldn’t find it. Followed the creek, but next time. It looks so different after all the rain we had this season. There was a seasonal waterfall we saw though. It was beautiful!
Just above that last waterfall you went into there is the main waterfall all you have to do is climb over it there is a rope which you can see to your right once your at the top you'll see it it's beautiful :)
That’s actually the first of 5 waterfalls stacked on top of one another hard to tell when your below but they are just past the one you stopped at and are by far the best and the last one has a large cave above it you can climb to (little sketchy tho) and a pond at the bottom and it’s weird being in a pond on the edge of a cliff
New subscriber. 1,175 views? Come on folks. (Well, been on youtube for a few years now & I'm just discovering you--so I guess it's somewhat self-explanatory--based on that.) In any case, great videos. Thanks for posting.
+Jesse St Louis Oh wow I heard there was a few more but I didn’t know it was that many. I’ve been to the 2 above them but never any further. There was a rope on the left hand side that took you up to a high point but we couldn’t find anywhere to go from there & it was sketchy the rope was super frayed. Best of luck, I look forward to seeing the video!
Awesome. You missed a few cool spots. I travel all over the country searching for the best hidden amazing spots. It be awesome to hike with you seems like you're crazy adventurous like myself.
Thanks Dan. Yeah I know there's more up that canyon. I was actually looking into doing the whole canyon from the top and rappelling all the waterfalls. Would probably be a multi day affair. I'll keep you in mind for when I return to the states!
@@JesseStLouis rapelleing those falls will be awesome. I'm thinking of doing the Santa Anita area this week but it might be closed. I probably have to move my GPS somewhere else. Awesome, let me know when you return stay safe out there my friend.
Born and raised in Ojai 40+ years... it was actually my junior high school as well. You are not pronouncing Matilija correctly... :-( First time I heard someone say it that way. It's actually "MA-TIL-I-HA". Nice video tho
I did this hike earlier this month solo. ( This video inspired me) and went through every obstacle it was an amazing adventure. Thank you for these videos. I also did Santa Paula Punch Bowls a while ago and omg what a beautiful journey ! Keep Exploring these amazing waterfalls !
Mah-tall-EE-ha, lol, I literally cut most of that brush to get there. BTW that easement you walked through, the owner’s name is buzz and he’s an asshole. You are correct after 4 years of no maintenance the land is free to access by the public through the blue heron property.

Thanks man! I love this stuff!
No better feeling in the entire world than when you first discover a new area in nature! Most uplifting feeling in the universe!
Absolutely!
Great job on the video. Looks like a really cool trail and some awesome waterfalls!
Hey thanks Josh! I read there's another 5 or 6 falls beyond where we stopped. I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Groovy tunes and good views man! That waterfall swimming hole at the end was amazing.
It was soooo cold, but invigorating! Thanks Gabe!
That was too kool, enjoyed this video thanks for sharing. Will try this adventure.
Awesome, enjoy!!
Thank you for making this video, going to be checking these falls out this week!
Hope it's flowing, enjoy
Because of your wonderful video I make my reservation to be go on May 🙌 can't wait to the hike looks awesome...

@@JesseStLouis Thank you I will I watching your other videos ☺️
hello..new viewers here..wow very nice video..thanks for sharing...sending a like with a smile from chicago and bukidnon,mindanao,philippines
Thanks
I was in the area last Friday at Rose Valley Falls lower and upper tier. I'll have to come back for this one.
Man this video is amazing. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
Awesome! Heading there tomorrow 🤟
Enjoy!
Fun hike.. Matilija is not pronounced like 'Matt-a-LEE-ha'.. More like 'Ma-TiLL-e-ha' with a short e..
No!! This is sacred spot of the chumash , you should not be telling people about this one!!!
Great camera you got there, crisp video. What’s the lens you used? Thumbs up!
I use a Lumix G85 with a 12-60 kit lense
How long would you say it took to reach that last waterfall and how long to make it back?
Love this one even more! My father lived in Ojai for years!!!! Thank you again for the inspiration! Jen
That is awesome!
Hey were you able to launch your drone at the end where the waterfalls are ?
No, it's a wilderness area
@@JesseStLouis ok ya because when I got to the end last time my drone launched but wouldn’t go up past a certain height it was like there was an imaginary wall
Matilija (MA-Till-LY- A) Falls.
Wjat are you tjahlking abhjout?
🤔I'm not convinced
@Bob Bottoms yep just messing around because literally 100s of people have commented the same thing on this video

Man that looks amazing!
Oh it is! I highly recommend it!
My wife and I are headed out to that area, being it's a National Forest you can camp there as long as you're 100' from the water, did you see any signs of dispersed camping? Cool video.
I didn't but be careful of rock slide areas
@@JesseStLouis 10-4, Thank you
Incredible Adventurer you are... 👍
Thank you sir!
I can't believe you jumped in there. I bet it was cold AF. Awesome video!!
Of course I jumped in, how else am I gonna get all up in that ass?? Loooolll
This place is breathtaking!👌
It sure is
nice.. Would love to go visit this place.
It's beautiful
Love your channel - been dying to go here. Hope there’s the same amount of water in 2021 as when you shot this video in 2018. Droughts are a bummer.
Thanks, yeah I hope it still flowing too for you
Went up here last week. Definitely still enough water to splash around, but a lot less than what you see in this video. Trail is in better shape though.
Good to hear the trail is better
Really nicely put together video! I found you from Trinding, watch for us here on UA-cam and Trinding.
Thx for the beautiful video! Looks like you had a lot of fun. Btw, Matilija is pronounced Ma-til'-i'-ha', emphasis on the 2nd and 4th syllable.
Thanks for the info!
If u go up you'll find another beautiful water fall that's not the last one
Yeah I know, ran outta daylight, lol... I'll be back
How do you avoid not getting lost?
Follow the river upstream and then return by following the river downstream
Looks awesome man. Do you always travel alone?
No usually with my wife
@@JesseStLouis that is great keep up the good work
Wow looking at all that desert chaparral and surrounding hillside you would never guess there would be such an oasis with an awesome falls like that. Pretty cool exploring!
Watch out for the Manticores and Skinwalkers. They must be every where according to 4chan.
🤔🤘
Thanks for sharing . Is the hike going to the falls an easy one because I am a beginner when it comes to hiking .
I'd recommend lower Rose Valley Falls as a good beginner hike
I’m out here in Santa Monica. Thanks for all the new spots to hit JSL you’re the man! Keep up the fire content and ur channel will grow for real
Thanks for your support!
How are you able to travel so much??
Lately most of my adventures have been on the weekends
You may not realize that when at those waterfalls, you were in a earthquake fault zone as seen by all the layers of horizontal and wavy strata. It's always a give away.
Interesting
I noticed that also. Ventura county is in a fault line.
This is a sick place one of my favorites! I haven't been there since the fire. There is a total of 5 waterfalls if you keep going. Probably really hard to keep going since the fire but not to many did before the fire either. Awesome video. There are alot of cool hikes in Ojai.

Thanks for watching
Awesome video but listening to you say mahtileeuhha over & over again makes me wana jump off a cliff with no water at the bottom lmao
Cool, base jumping looks fun, stay safe! ☺😂🤙
Same
I lived on matilija canyon road 1993. Lived in Ojai for 14 years and hiking was my life.
Lol...he needs to know how to pronounce Matilija. 🕊
Which trailhead did you start on? Planning on going to this hike tomorrow.
We started at the Matilija Trail Trailhead
Jesse St Louis thank you! Can’t wait to see what the waterfalls look like after all the recent rain.
We went, but couldn’t find it. Followed the creek, but next time. It looks so different after all the rain we had this season. There was a seasonal waterfall we saw though. It was beautiful!
Sounds like you still had fun. Rock on!
Got a good inna woods story?
Not sure what you mean
Just above that last waterfall you went into there is the main waterfall all you have to do is climb over it there is a rope which you can see to your right once your at the top you'll see it it's beautiful :)
Yeah I know but it was starting to get dark. I'll be back again, though!! Thanks 🤙
so sick brother, i want to go check out San Ysidro falls one of these days..
All hail red line 🙏🏽

Yes!
Pronounced Ma till a ha Not Mont te leya Falls. Everyone gets it wrong.
My mom lives in Ojai....and its pronounced "Muh-tilla-ha". 😉
Love this falls and the pools. Going to have to do this one as well.
There's 6 more after the one we stopped at!!
@@JesseStLouis I'm so down to run to all of them and hit them all in one day
Any gpx files to share?
No, sorry. It's pretty straightforward though.
Stoked I found this. Thanks Jesse
Hey thank you for watching
ma Till aha. Take it from a native.
🤔
Beautiful falls. !
Absolutely

DOPE
Yes!
Say Matilija right... also this isn't hidden
Oh no?
@@JesseStLouis depends if you are from this county it's a well known spot
That last waterfall usually has a rope on the right hand side & you can climb up to 2 more sets of water falls
Yeah actually I did some research and there's 6 more waterfalls back there. I'm probably going to go back to explore those soon.
+Jesse St Louis Oh wow I heard there was a few more but I didn’t know it was that many. I’ve been to the 2 above them but never any further.

It’s pronounced muh-tilla-ha!!! 😂🤦🏼♂️
I use the traditional Native American pronunciation 😎👍
+Jesse St Louis Well shoot you learn sumthing new everyday! That’s the correct Chumash pronunciation?
Idk, I'm just being a smartass, lol
Beat me to it...
Great video I live in Ojai! Just a heads up you pronounced matilija wrong. We take that pretty seriously lol 😜
Exactly, fellow Ojaian here. It is pronounced Ma-TILL-a-ha.
🙌
@@gonnahitcharide I think it's May-Tilly-Jay....
@@gonnahitcharide i totally just realize i just spelt it haha! but yeah!

Awesome, nice job Janeen 🤙🙌
Ma-til-a-ha
🤔are you sure?
Did you ever get your feet wet inside of your boots?
Not on this hike
There are also some hidden hot springs you should check out
Oh yeah?
the way you say Matilija pains me
Me too
MUH-TIL-EH-HA = MATILIJA
Beautiful, but learn how to pronounce the word. Matilija (muh-till-ih- ha)
Ma TIL uh ha.
Are you sure? I'm just not convinced
@@JesseStLouis Yup, I've lived near Ojai for 50+ years.
Mah-tall-EE-ha, lol, I literally cut most of that brush to get there. BTW that easement you walked through, the owner’s name is buzz and he’s an asshole. You are correct after 4 years of no maintenance the land is free to access by the public through the blue heron property.

So I've heard, lol
