Wow I just watched #1, incredible timing
Are you going on one this weekend?
@@RockessentialTim yes, tmrw an easy bike ride and the first one in this vid looks great to do on Monday. Nice work 💪
Again a great video man!!!
1:45 What a great view , thanks for another cool video.
Thanks man. Always good to hear from you.
I live in London, but your videos on hiking and LA '60s and '70s music culture are so good. Keep them coming.
Thank you kindly. They are my pleasure to make!
I'm from London too and i feel the same.
When I lived in LA in the 70’s the views were never clear and beautiful due to the smog. I realized how gorgeous LA really was one day in 1974 when I was on an upper floor in the RCA building meeting with the then Beach Boys Manager. It had rained in the morning and it was clear as can be. Totally blown away seeing such an amazing view. Next LA visit I’m definitely going to do some of your suggested hikes. 😎🎸Thanks for posting such cool videos. Makes my daily exercises go quicker.
I had a very similar experience back then. Those air quality rules work. LA's got a lot of great hiking.
Thanks for the video. Did Millard Canyon Falls this morning (long version). Even though it was a Saturday, it was only moderately crowded and we also got to spend about 5 minutes alone at the waterfall. The campground was pretty crowded with boyscouts, but it was just so quiet near the waterfall. The weather was great and the canyon was just beautifully lit. Appreciate the recommendation 🙂
I gotta make time to get up there again. I'd love to check it out after a big rain.
Hiking is couples therapy 😎
I definitely like the first one. Beautiful waterfall! 😁
I've never been to LA, but the scenery looks great. Also enjoy the music/cultural history from the 60s and 70s.
Nice....we like NEW
Rock On Freaks
Loving the videos as always. Man I've had so many great road trips round california. Your videos fire up my imagination. I want this awful virus to end and I'm back over. Watching you I feel I've missed so many great places over there and I'm going to right that wrong.🇬🇧 👍Liverpool👍🇬🇧
You are right Runyon Canyon is the must popular hiking trail in LA. I go there once a week. But my favorite near Los Angeles is Bridge to Nowhere in spring when crossing the river represents a challenge.
Thank you for that. I have never been but will check it out in January.
@@RockessentialTim my recommendations are to go from April to June. Even the color of water 💧 looks very different because of the melting snow ❄️ and also start hiking at 7 or 8 am that way you’ll have time to go to the hidden Devil’s Gulch waterfall
Great hikes I’ll try them, thanks for sharing
Right on, thanks!
i love the water creeks and waterfall. would like to hear some more rock n roll stories too!
Happy Ending Hiking Club... ha ! I think I just wrote a song
My girlfriend I had a really fun and challenging time doing the 4 hour Los Angeles Orienteering Club at Griffith Park that launched last month. Definitely worth a try!
That sounds cool. How challenging was it? Where did you hike?
@@RockessentialTim it's a 4 hour challenge to visit as many spots as you can, you can do them in any order but are only allowed to use the official map and can't use any GPS. The start and end is at the Mineral Wells picnic area. You use a smartphone app to record your checkins
@@mogden That sounds awesome. I'll keep an eye out for it. Hopefully it will still be going on after things cool off in the fall. Thanks!
Great hikes for health and sight seeing. Thanks for sharing this
If you have any questions about how long, how far or how difficult a hike is, hit us up and we'll get back soon....
Heading out for Franklin Canyon Lakes later. Will say "Hi" to the turtles.
Thanks for another wonderful hiking video! May I ask what hiking app you used?
@@NocturneTheatre I use Alltrails but with an asterik. It gets things right about 70% of the time. There is a dude at Hikingguy.com that lays stuff out pretty well and I do check his site out from time to time.
@@RockessentialTim Thanks so much! I’ve downloaded the app but will check out that site before heading out each time :)
Wow Tim. Looks amazing as always. Hope you are well brother. We've been blessed with LA style weather this last week. Makes me miss it even more. Still hoping to make it this year and follow a few of your hikes. Peace.
Cool and glad you liked it. Let me know when you are coming.
@@RockessentialTim nice one man. I'll let you know. Will buy ya a beer in Barney's Beanery.
I rewatched your Jim Morrison/Doors vid recently. Very good and I loved the look of Barney's
@@davenoon7378 Its a cool place. Have almost gotten my butt kicked there before which I will be glad to fill you in on over a beer.
@@RockessentialTim looking forward to hearing that story
On my only trip to LA (2018) Franklin Canyon was on my list but ran out out of time. That pond was the Andy Griffith opening and (I think) used for the iconic Creature from the Black Lagoon scene. Sad I missed it but I did have pizza at the Rainbow and saw the Canyon Country Store. I have pretty great pics of those & the Whiskey
Believe it or not, I think The Rainbow has the best pizza in town. I even get take out there.
Thank You for your great channel! Love all your videos, extremely informative and helpful, with useful information and advice.
Thank you so much! Honestly, they are my pleasure to make.
BTW: The only hike that is not pet friendly is Lake Hollywood Reservoir. Although I see people with their dogs they are technically not allowed.
Yet children, drizzling gallon purple slurpy spooge everywhere? Well socialized dogs, in my experience, receive no pushback. Dogs need to be dogs. Stupid rules often need be broken.
You should try Echo Mountain Trail.
You are the 2nd person who has recommended it so I will! I believe its in Alta Dena?
You show some cool trails but I avoid ones that have as many people as that one did.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned what is going on at 9:33. Look closely!
OMG!
@@bossyhouse1 OMG!
It had to be 3 feet long.
All I can see is a man walking. What are we meant to be seeing?
There is a rather large snake that crosses the path and goes into the bushes. It turned out to be a King snake. Not poisonous but pretty darn big...
Hey Tim,
What happened to your Neil Young Topanga Canyon video?
His wonderful record company, Warner Brothers made UA-cam take it down because they say I infringed on his copyright by playing "Southern Man" on the piano for 5 seconds--like that somehow is going to take away from their record sales. I have to wait another month or so before I can repost without the offending parts. Sometimes we live in a really ridiculous world.
Well I thought that might have been the case but I'm glad to hear that you'll be putting it back up soon. If you watch Rick Beato he goes on at length about this nonsense and having problems with the record companies even when the artists approve of his endorsements. My next trip to LA is in September and I plan to check out one or two of your recommended hikes. So thanks for all those great videos.....
@@parkwayclassics8443 Yeah, I've watched Rick's rants on it. He has a little more pull with the record companies than I do though! All good and let me know where you end up going.
Love your videos! What trail app do you recommend? Thanks!
I use Alltrails but I usually check it out at home on Hikingguy.com beforehand. He's good!
The lake at Ernest Debs Reg. Park is called Debs Lake, not Peanut lake, lol
Did all 10. Who's next?
lol, Playa Vista - Playa is not pronounced “play-uh”, it’s the Spanish word for beach, pronounced “ply-uh”
Wow, I am literally hanging my head in shame, lol!
@@RockessentialTim lol- sorry, just figured living in So Cal, you really should be saying that correctly, lol
@@cshughes77 Right on. I'm originally from the Midwest and I have trouble with a lot of words here. It took me like 5 years to finally master "La Cienega"!
@@RockessentialTim haha, that’s too funny, you’re definitely one up on Google Maps there, lol
