How to get to Monkey Canyon Falls step by step
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- This hike is only 1.4 miles with an elevation gain of about 300 feet.
Short hike but very strenuous and difficult terrain be advised of that.
There are 5 sets of ropes and one very sketchy hanging ladder to help you down to the main waterfall. The rock pools have enough depth to take a swim and cool off but please make sure to check how deep they are before diving into them and also make sure there aren’t any big rocks to avoid hurting yourself.

Thank you so much for watching, most of my videos are time sensitive , that means I try to go places when there is a better chance of having the best views and experience. For example if you watch video of a seasonal waterfall and you decide to visit but when you get there it’s completely dry that’s a bummer. Same thing if I show wildflowers blooming, you visit and they are long gone! Or a place with snow, you go and it’s all melted!
Right after I go hiking I post my videos as soon as possible.
That’s why it’s very important that you subscribe and a active the notification bell so you won’t miss a thing!!

Way back in 1979 in my youth my friends and I would drive past the tunnel and hike all the way down to monkey canyon. What a great time and memories
Great! Were there rock pools and big waterfalls, and how was the hike? Thank you

@@lopezexplorathanks again for this, just came home from there. It was awesome.
@@o0oitzJimmy I’m so glad you had a great time!! Awesome 😎
Another great video hike.👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏
Cool video, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure, thank you for watching 🙏
Grew up going here. Havnt been in years. Mostly due to my car getting broken into when I was down there. But after watching this I have an itch to go back. It’s actually called monkey canyon because when the sun is right there is a perfect monkey face on the cliff above the lower pool from where the ladder is. And the ladder is for climbing up, you gotta jump!!! Haha. Awesome job picking up trash too.
Thank you for watching and the tip about the monkey Canyon , I’ll look for it next time I go!
Wow!! Great video!!
Thank you 🙏
Never knew about this spot until recently
It’s really cool 😎
I'm the early 70's we used to call it hippy canyon...
My dad used to own part of the resort with the bar and fish pond in the 70's right past the tunnel on the right it was washed out in 78 and ten people got killed. He also owned the falcon mines another 5 miles up the road.
I grew up there in those mountains, running those trails...
Hey man I actually just did this trail 2 weeks ago and it was amazing but when I was going on my way to the ladder I slipped and almost fell off the 50 ft cliff next to the ladder its very sketch also those are not mosquitos in the video those are mosquito eaters they are harmless and actually eat mosquitos I went with my family to to this hike and everyone made it back safe thankfully also if you look straight directly from the water slide there are 2 cars that fell off the cliff
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you lived to tell. That place could turn into a very dangerous place if we are not careful
You’re lucky to be alive! Glad you’re ok! 👍🏻
It doesn’t have to be a dangerous area, in February I slipped and fell in the easiest part of towsley canyon in Santa Clarita and I was hurting for a good month. “””SO BE CAREFUL ALWAYS”””.
Absolutely True, we always pray before we hike, nice to have some higher authority helping as well 🤩
You are absolutely right, never underestimate Mother Nature in all aspects!
Awesome! I was thinking about going here today but decided to save it for another day. The water looks like it's calmed down a lot since I was there last (after the storms in the winter). Was this recent? Love the video!
Now is the time, go!!
This was 2 days ago
@@lopezexplora awesome, thanks!
@@lopezexplora Awesome! I'll probably go within the next month or so. Thanks for the update on the location.
where do you get the parking pass ?

I wonder what the bacteria count of the water is
The thing I didn’t like was at 5:25 minutes, the rest WAS GREAT 😁😁😁
Heights? Snakes?
Thank you for watching
Beautiful place good video, but how sad the walls of the canyon that nature carved are Scarred with graffiti
Yep!
Thank you for watching

I’ve discovered so many amazing places thanks to social media and everywhere I go I share with everyone, and I’m always mentioning about graffiti, trash and safety and that kind of stuff, my apologies if I can’t follow your requests
Trust me I’m doing what I can, every time I go hiking I’m always picking up trash, watch this:

Poison Ivy & Mosquitos? Not my kind of hiking....and no Monkeys?!
What is your kind of hiking?
@@lopezexplora Though I have hiked for most of my life...mostly in the Sierra Nevada of California, I am old and worn out now. I am not happy with the trail systems in the San Bernardino Mountains, because I like to walk in the shadow of trees, and the heat is unbearable now! Gracias por tu reply Senor Lopez. Thank you for sharing your trails videos. Your voice track is quite assuring and clear. Keep on hiking young man!
@@chriswolff5459 Thank you , I appreciate you very much.

Shame there's graffiti there, keep that in the city.
are there brain-eating amoebas in here?
Those are usually found on hot springs that don’t have much running water. When you are in the wilderness there is always a chance of that as well as snakes,spiders,bears mountain lions and such. Thank you for watching .
@@lopezexplora I see, thank you for the quick response on a month old video lol
