I have gone there in the winter there was alot of water if you ever get the chance hike behind devil gulch for about a mile there are pools and good camping spots and more waterfalls
I loved hiking San Gabriel Canyon in the late 70's thru the 1990s. We could actually camp there then and hiked many miles past the bridge. Explored many mines and other interesting sights. Great video. Thanks! Brings back many great memories!
Thank you, Jesse. Takes me back the the 70s. We used to hike in Fri nite to camp swim, hike and relax until Sunday afternnoon in the Narrows past the bridge. Good times
Jesse St Louis...you are fabulous. Thanks for all your beautiful and informative videos-your passion is evident in all of them. I wish I knew more people like you.
just subscribed Jesse! I got rid of paid t.v. programming two years ago and I'm totally good with watching adventures such as this! I just ride mountain bikes and don't hike but dang love to watch! When I was young skydiving all the way to fly-fishing the San Juan river to Living in the Grand Canyon were my adventures, but now I stay close to home and watch UA-cam. A safe place to be in a dangerous, yet mysterious supernatural world. Beastly beauty. Dig your sense of humor, funny
Beautifull!!! What is the man made fixture at 8:09? ...... & Maybe I Missed it But any Vid with any footage of the Spring That feeds The waterfall? Let Me Know Thanx
Thanks for video. I just did the Bridge to Nowhere but had trouble locating Devils Gulch. Wish I would've watched this first. I plan on goin back though.
I grew up in azusa and once we were old enough to drive, the canyons were always the go to spot back in high school. Unfortunately all the empty Tecate/ bud-light boxes are taking over. Sad to see all the litter everywhere. Great video bro!
@@JesseStLouis definitely not the cleanest but during the brutal summer heat, its really refreshing. The summer time its not so bad either because the water is flowing more. There's a lot of hidden gems around puddingstone lake too, I never realized it either until I went mountain biking deep into the wooded areas around the lake.
this trail is soooo much better in the spring and summer because of the green vegetation everywhere makes it seem you're in the movie Avatar. Winter gray makes it look a little less appealing but still cool.
Been to it once. You’ll definitely find it if you head back under the bridge and stay near the left side mountain. Maybe a mile and a half from the bridge
Man! I thought I was the only guy who loved hidden azusa! I'd love to meet you guys up there for a hike. I know some spots where cabins burnt down on west fork area. Its cool to venture them ruins. There is two spots I know.
@@JesseStLouis where can I purchase a pass and what’s a good day to come because last time I went I had a a good experience but then bad got my car towed n I don’t want that to happen again
@@lisettekovacs7353 if you go on Angeles National Forest website or Google "where to buy Southern California adventure pass" you will find a list of places. Lots of 7-11's and sporting goods places sell them and I know for sure REI in Arcadia does too. Buy a year pass for $30 or a day pass for $5.
@@JesseStLouis awesome to know and last thing is this pass good for all trails is there a list anywhere? I need to hang out with people like you? That was a big mistake from me I went solo not a good idea 😂
@@lisettekovacs7353 yeah The Adventure Pass is good for the 4 National Forests in SoCal: Los Padres, Angeles, Cleveland and San Bernadino. Not good for state or county parks.
Finally did allison gulch today what an amazing hike it's not easy at all but it's worth it had a nice amount of water and the best part is no people at all
Awesome video as always! Didn't know about the Allison waterfall....always wanted to get back there to find the mine so now I got two reasons! And if you're ever back near LA and need someone to tag along it would be cool to join you!! Cheers!
Tried to look 4 it out d blue yesterday but all i remembered was the swan rock. Anyways from the parking lot i went in like 3.5 miles. Did i pass it? It got too late and i know better.
The two waterfalls at the mouth of Iron Fork and the waterfall up the Fish Fork (possibly the highest falls in the San Gabriels) are intimidating as hell. The falls in both Canyons make both drainages the wildest in the Range!
Its easy to get through but there is poison oak to the right right off, get past it and way back, there is a falls twice as high get above that, you can come out at south hawkins. Also the gultch before, is rattle snake. 7 falls in a row then keep going you can get to rattle snake peek and come out shoemaker road, or go across the ridge and get to south hawkins as well. I have videos of all this and more
The wild, native CA bay laurel tree is NOT to be used in cooking, b/c it contains many secondary products in concentrations that are too strong for cooking. But the great leaf aroma is to die for...!
On the way in to Azusa Canyon there's a spot where you can jump...If you had some balls you can do the 120 foot jump ...but you can't see the water...you have to run and jump... haha . .what a Rush...you can't see the pool of water and when you run and jump you follow the curvature of the hill on the way down!
It's a nice sheer huge monolithic boulder with several different heights...I've never run and did it...to be honest with you... several of my crazy friends would...It's to the right when you enter the canyon...when your driving in the river is to your left soon after the river is on your right just starting to gain elevation ...it's down to the right...the pool is the size of a swimming pool...deep close to cliff! I wouldn't do it ..I walked up there standing in the weeds...shook my head and walked away mumbling....you guys are f in crazy!
Today I try looking for devils gulch waterfall I didn't find it but I did find another waterfall not as big but it was nice I think I went in the wrong canyon one before devils gulch
I used to catch wild Brook Trout there ..back in the 80s...catch and release....all gone now. Gee I wonder why.... idiots keep coming and destroying the place. I grew up on the San Gabriel River.... SGVL CHAMPION wrestler UNDEFEATED 3 years in a row...Thanks coach Chuck Bishop! Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High School California
Hey Jesse if you're still there...I believe there used to be a run of wild Steelhead Trout in that river before my time...I seen a guy catch a smolt steelhead on HB Pier in the 80s...had a lot of resemblance to the Brook Trout there in the 80s...they were beautiful...small but strikingly designed! Support bringing Steelhead back to southern California watersheds.... They are working on that as we speak!✌️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾👣👣👣👣🗽 happy trails and thanks for keeping it clean! Love that!👍
Nice spot.bridge to knowhere.theres a sticker n forest sighn reads NO BUNJEE JUMPING.THOUGHT THE JUMPERS WHERE NUTS.they where barely less than 10 feet but from at that distance who can tell
The concrete bridge foundation is at the beginning of Allison Gulch. You hike up Allison Gulch about 2 miles and 2000 foot elevation gain until you reach the falls. It's not an easy hike.
The best swiming hole in north central calif is Rainbow pool in buck meadows they have bathrooms too just. 20 feet away. Bring your. KFC for lunch and soda
Continue up Allison gulch and you come to the Allison Gold mine. Back in the 60's there were three cabins fully furnished. Its as if they just got up and left. Today I understand that there is nothing left.
When was this video taken? Something is different, you look younger in it. Something is up, I am part Apache. No instagram? If you are sick, chia seeds. Warrior food 4.25 lmao, this is how I approach life. Can I eat it? No? Moving on As always great video mate, beautiful waterfall, stay infamous!
@@JesseStLouis interesting, that's one of the reasons I like top drive out to sequoia i can just camp anywhere, here i might get a ticket if I'm not in a designated campground
At 5:06 when he says, "There's a couple cairns out here so watch for that." For a second I thought he said "There's a couple Karens out here so watch for that." LOL. I thought he meant there's a few nattering old women that wander around the gulch threatening to call the cops if you don't show ID or something. Though in full discretion I'm extremely high on marijuana right now so there's that.
There is a reason why you found these waterfalls beautiful and clean. No to many people know them. With your video, in a near future you will find " toilet paper,baby wipes and the worst of all plastic bottles: Unfortunately people do not pack out what they pack in!
@@JesseStLouis sorry .... your "secret" video has NOW exposed a location to be trashed. I have been raised in the area all My life ... and have watched the whole area turn to shit -n- over crowded. over-hyped "look at me video" maybe ya could set an example and pick up some trash on the way out.
@@jontattersall1837 so there was no trash or graffiti before people started making UA-cam videos? I find that hard to believe. You act like I am the first person to talk about these areas, there have been blog posts and even books written about them. I understand your frustration but your anger is misplaced. The more we can educate and inspire people to be outdoors and treat nature with respect, the better we will all be in the long term.

That wooden bridge marks Laurel Gulch. I know because I put that bridge there.
Still smells like the log ride at knotts berry farm.

I really want to tackle Devils gulch falls this weekend. Do you have idea of how far is from the the San Gabriel river once you turn left?
Maybe around a quarter mile or less
I found them. Not my ideal hike but waterfall was worth it. Thank you so much.
Amazing Man 🤘
Thanks
this trail is soooo much better in the spring and summer because of the green vegetation everywhere makes it seem you're in the movie Avatar. Winter gray makes it look a little less appealing but still cool.
Do you know how to getto the abandoned mine in that same canyon?
From what I understand, you have to go up a ridge way before you reach these falls. That's all I know.
Been to it once. You’ll definitely find it if you head back under the bridge and stay near the left side mountain. Maybe a mile and a half from the bridge
How long does it take to get there
Well as you can see in the video, it took us all day to do both
Jesse St Louis ok thank you

Is devil's Gulch falls passing bridge to nowhere, or before?
Before
Dude this is my fav vid for that trail
Thanks
Love your videos bro
Thanks!
Freakin awsome video. Thank you just beautiful!
Glad u like it! Thanks for watching!
Awesome

Great video! My friends don’t like boulders but devil gulch looks better. Could you make a video on your gear? That would be great.
Yeah Devil Gulch is easier for sure. Which gear in particular are you interested in?
Love the videos

Great. Welcome to the party.
BUT...how do you find it!?! Any markers or clues? I knew about DG but first I've heard of AG falls!
Not sure what you mean. I gave pretty clear markers to find Allison Gulch in the video.
So...from the small tributary at the concrete bridge remnant? Did you follow that back? Thank you.
The concrete bridge foundation is at the beginning of Allison Gulch. You hike up Allison Gulch about 2 miles and 2000 foot elevation gain until you reach the falls. It's not an easy hike.
Freaking awesome
Hey thanks for watching
I was excited for this hike then You said watch out for poison oak lol
Yeah but I mean that's pretty much true with any off trail adventure in SoCal, watch out for poison oak and rattlesnakes, nbd

@@JesseStLouis interesting, that's one of the reasons I like top drive out to sequoia i can just camp anywhere, here i might get a ticket if I'm not in a designated campground
