      Agreed, it is always sad to see

      lookoutforchris I love seeing graffiti and other man made things. While I do honestly prefer there to be none. I like seeing how I get off the trail and wonder if I'm the first person on a particular area, but see paintings and junk. While sad, yes, also amazing to see humans in every corner of the world

      @Filmwithpurpose 6 років тому +2

      lookoutforchris just depends if it’s curse words it’s graffiti. If not it’s art. We are only human. No one sad making art was bad. We just leave our marks

      Leaving "your mark" taints the wilderness for others. You want to leave a mark, spray paint your house.

    • @tomd1914
      @tomd1914 6 років тому +19

      Permanent marks on property and objects that do not belong to you are not art. It’s vandalism.

  • @NomadicWeekenders
    @NomadicWeekenders 5 років тому +16

    This is a great list!!
    The only one I would add is San Antonio Falls in Mt. Baldy. We actually got some sick drone footage of it on our channel, if ya wanted to check it out.

  • @benschwendinger4950
    @benschwendinger4950 6 років тому +10

    Green valley falls in cuyamaca state park is a pretty fun one. The flow is not that impressive but the hike is easy and there is a pool that's safe to jump in.

  • @HuckOutdoors

    Fish Canyon Falls in Azusa is one of the best, when the trail is open.
    Also San Antonio Falls and Stoddard Canyon Falls on Mt. Baldy .
    There are many others, but you chose some of the good ones.

    @DrewsPools 6 років тому +37

    I was surprised to see my home waterfall top the list! I live 20 min away from Black Star Falls outside of Trabuco Canyon. Pro Tip: when you get to the falls, climb the steep hill to your right to find a set of ropes. You can climb the ropes to the top of the hill for incredible views of the Santa Ana mountains!

      Me and my dad went there yesterday he has a bad back that needed several surgeries and I’m a skinny 5”9 135lbs that never exercises and he made it up easily because he use to hike all the time in his younger days but I barely made it up mostly because I was out of breath and trying to keep up with my dad. It’s a good hike and even though it’s number 1 on this list I think it’s do able for most people of average athleticism and determination

  • @fayco1
    @fayco1 5 років тому +10

    Update for Escondido Falls: PLEASE be aware that right after the first waterfall, it is very difficult to climb up the hill. It’s very steep and super rocky. There isn’t a rope anymore and the roots of trees make it more difficult. It is really hard if you take your dogs or little kids. I wouldn’t recommend if you bring your dogs or kids. Other than that it’s a super cool hike, mostly in the spring, hopefully that helps anyone from showing up and realizing this.

    another awesome fall - but way south - off highway 8 halfway to Arizona - it's called kitchen creek falls - of the PCT near the Mexican border. The hike is about 5 miles round trip - mostly moderate trail, but about a half mile scramble to get to the bottom tier - it's a 5 tier, 200 foot fall - and is by far my favorite falls - black star is my second, Ortega when flowing is third. check out hikelikers on IG - or look up kitchen creek falls for more images - I promise you wont be dissapointed

    Sorry, dyslexia & forgot your name Through my eyes guy. One that is easy, good chance to see deer if do in morning, and also great afternoon lunch break is Los Penasquito Canyon creek Falls. Not very high, but has small pools for wet play. Historic farm/buildings in park. Central coast area San Diego County, of I-15 & So of SR54. Can come from East of I-5, but longer hike. About 2-4 mi.s depending on way...warm & dry in summer, but usually flow of water. Be well daniel aka FreedomPlease, of #7footAPARThikes Leader San Diego Day Hikers @MeetUp.com -Peace, and OUT!

    Try to get into the cave at Black Star Canyon Falls as it is cool to check out. Bring plenty of drinking water as the hike is long and get good directions as there are no signs to know where to make the turns and you may miss it. Bring epipen for bees if allergic. I got stung but few people do and I did not notice any at the falls, just one segment of the way up.

Sad for those with handicaps as there used to be a motorized route to it, but gotta make the environmentalists happy and keep most the public out. They keep all the public out in many areas.
