I stayed in this area in a town called Graeagle about 45 years ago when I was a kid and I never forgot it. This area is truly amazing. someday I hope to get back there. So glad you experienced it!!
Jesse I stumbled on to you're channel, it's awesome I totally can relate to you're enthusiasm and you're love and respect to nature. Keep exploring the trails God bless you and you fam bro.
Please continue to name drop! I don't think I'd be watching your videos if I had no way to know where you were, no way to figure out where these places were and how to get to them. I'd just be watching this guy have a great time and feel envious. Not inspired, not motivated. As I said in another one of the comments you are in a national forest here, that means you own it and so do I. Thank you for sharing these places for all of us to grow as we explore and enjoy. "Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity" "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

"Everybody needs beauty...places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike." John Muir
Cool 😎 I grew up in feather falls we used to go to a place called granite pools. We would go every Thursday in the summer, My Dad's day off...,..... amazing places there! Unfortunately you can't go there anymore because it's owned by a logging co. I really miss those days ✌️
I was thinking of buying a claim up there. Seems like a nice place to look for precious metals for fun by a novice. I would like to have fun and leave as little of a foot print as possible.
First time hiker, no experience, and I did this yesterday. Maybe it was me, but this was very difficult. The end was rewarding. It was scary amazing beautiful. Ill watch your videos for my next adventure.
I disagree with Quails on Rails. I like the chill music in the background, it helps with the vibe. It breaks everything up and conveys the overall feeling. It's inspiring.
OMG would you care to share how you get to this swimming hole? I live around the area and have tried looking for this place the past 5 years and never found it...
Really cool videos. Since you have the opportunity, it would be really cool to see white noise and nature videos for those stuck in an office. Just a thought. Thanks for all the videos
9 miles? lol. More like 1 1/2 miles. Though, don't go there now. The North Complex fire wiped out Feather Falls(the town)A better campground(before this fire) was Milsap Bar. On the middle fork of the Feather.
I went to seven falls last week and was wondering if you think it’s deep enough to cliff jump from the top of the falls? Love your videos btw lots of places I’ve never been and I’ve lived in nor cal my whole life
It is possible. There’s a 10-20 foot gap to clear though. Check out the “9 days in Nor cal” video on UA-cam. They jumped it. The roads were all closed for fire cleanup last time I tried
@@JesseStLouis There's this place in Azusa Canyon...it's the first or second deep pool...12 to 14 feet deep... there's a couple places to jump from... anyway I went to high school with a crazy bunch...and a couple of my friends would be up around 100 feet and you can't even see the pool you have to run and jump and clear the curvature of the Canyon! Crazy... just saying. Drop me a what's up next time you're up here .... I live right down the road from Feather Falls... below the lake...do you like to fish? Snorkeling? Swimming with wild Salmon and watch em make their way up Butte Creek....drop me a line... there's 2 runs of salmon... first one in mid June.... I might be off working somewhere else...give me a shout-out... sonuvagrunt1942@gmail.com
@@marym.9845 Always keep an eye out for them, they usually won't bite unless stepped on or if you try to pick them up. Most rattlesnake bites come from people trying to handle them. But of course, if you're rock hopping or in dense under brush, there's always the risk of stepping on one.
Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. Pacific Rattlesnake is a very beautiful snake. Walk loudly and they'll hear you coming and exit stage left. I've lived in the area since 1981. I've seen 3 rattlesnakes in all that time. Two on roads and one alongside a flume trail. It can be a problem for dogs. The anti-venom is $400 a pop, dog or human
Here's a clue on snakes...if you see one chance is you'll see another and maybe another the same day.... funny like that....get yourself a Peterson Field guide or a Better one and learn to identify your snakes....and don't worry...I'm 57 years old now I've caught snakes all my life and I've NEVER seen one chase me....if you see one... just stop...take a deep breath and enjoy from a distance...no reason to get rattled! Pun intended...If you like hiking...learn the wildlife...it's much more enjoyable! And a snake will never chase you... I promise!
I described the location in a comment. Closer to Milsap Bar than Feather Falls. North Complex fire is, as I write, wiping all of those places out. Very sad.
Nice video, love this place. Fall #3 is actually the one with the log you jumped. Locals think they own this place. I say anyone who finds it on their own and makes the drive/hike deserves to see it. I personally found it on google maps. I try to pick up any trash I see out there.
Name dropping ruins it for everyone else. Just sayin. Part of the reason campsites are charging now is because of huge influx of visitors. Enjoy the spots make cool videos. Keep the location to a generalization and the names anonymous. Name dropping ruins it for the locals and doesn’t bring benefit to yourself. You seem like a rad dude and hope for more awesome content but this is adventurer ethics 101. Just my two cents. Keep on adventuring and loving life bro. Great content and love the enthusiasm🤙🏽
@@GOLIATHizHUGE which they don't so being responsible and not naming locations is the way to go. Its not his responsibility to let people know about places. Social media is such an unnatural platform its been wrecking havoc on spots all over from the tremendous increase in foot traffic. One of my local spots that was well off the beaten path had a group of out of towners partying with a huge fire in a high risk area right in the middle of the path near some falls and they found the location because of this guy. He is not helping. nothing good is coming from this.
I'm from SoCal and I disagree. He's sharing the places he goes to to inspire people to go out and see them for themselves. I'm incredibly grateful that he is sharing these places because my family and I have visited some and have had a great time. We are respectful people. We respect nature and respect others so to use a few bad apples as an example isn't looking at the big picture. Nature is to be enjoyed and explored by all, no one should claim dominion over it just because it happens to be somewhere they like to frequent or somewhere they live near and they want to keep it more private for themselves. These are public lands. If you love this country you should want your fellow countrymen to enjoy these great lands of ours as well. If you were full native American I could understand your feelings. Courtesy of Wikipedia: In the United States, national forest is a classification of protected and managed federal lands. National forests are largely forest and woodland areas owned collectively by the American people through the federal government, and managed by the United States Forest Service. See that? I own it. We all do.
Plumas is a great destination. Some of the best forests I've seen in California.
Yes indeed! Has it reopened after the fire yet?
I stayed in this area in a town called Graeagle about 45 years ago when I was a kid and I never forgot it. This area is truly amazing. someday I hope to get back there. So glad you experienced it!!
love that place! i live in Greenville and once in a while me and my family will go up to Graeagle
What a gorgeous place to hike, swim and chill out for a day or more.
Indeed
Thanks for reminding people to pack out their garbage.

Beautiful place. Tried to get to it this summer but there’s too many downed trees on the road from the 2020 fire :(
My son told me there's. An. Swimming hole on the Beale AFB in the Plumas NF. SIMILAR TO RAINBOW POOL about 1 mile hike up the hills east of beale
Oh nice
This Guy is Cool! I grew up in Nevada City- Yuba Rivers I support you Sir!
appreciate it!!
Yes! Jesse St. Louis

Sorry to hear that
I love this place! I haven't been there in 5 years! It's one of the best hidden waterfalls in California 👍🏽
Absolutely
Much respect sir. Thank you for Sharing. I will bring my big kids here. Truly amazing place. California is so blessed.
🤙😜
It is beautiful. I want to go visit that place. It's Awesome 😊.
If is cold water, I may not like it but so beautiful place.
I was thinking of buying a claim up there. Seems like a nice place to look for precious metals for fun by a novice. I would like to have fun and leave as little of a foot print as possible.
I'm blessed to live in this area💖
Nice

Yes, some of videos are definitely not beginner hikes. Be safe, leave no trace and bring the 10 Hiking Essentials.🤙
@@JesseStLouis Do you have a video about the 10 Hiking Essentials?
@@norcalmafioso I've been meaning to make one, haven't had the chance yet...Alice Ford has a good one ua-cam.com/video/cvSvBdehXt8/v-deo.html
Hi, what time of the year did you go?
Are there other camp grounds close by?
We were there in August. It's a National Forest so I'm sure theres plenty of camping options.
I disagree with Quails on Rails. I like the chill music in the background, it helps with the vibe. It breaks everything up and conveys the overall feeling. It's inspiring.
Noted!
Awesome video!!! Can't wait to check it out!
🤙
This is beautiful.
I want to go there
Treat it well and leave no trace ❤
@@JesseStLouis . Always
How do you get there? What campground did you stay in?
OMG would you care to share how you get to this swimming hole? I live around the area and have tried looking for this place the past 5 years and never found it...
Don't remember exactly. Found a little pullout on the side of a dirt road and a little trail going downhill.
Really cool videos. Since you have the opportunity, it would be really cool to see white noise and nature videos for those stuck in an office. Just a thought. Thanks for all the videos
Beautiful place! Hope to visit someday soon!😍
Great video. Beautiful place. My favorite shots are, jumping to the river, in slow motion and the under! water shots. Rock on, my man
So beautiful!!!

Damn you are badass bro. Holy moly. 😅
🙌🤙
It's a real bummer this place got torched by a wildfire in 2020. It's gonna be a while before it goes back to it's original beauty.
that's really unfortunate
Hey brotha , if it’s alright , I’d like to tag along sometime next yr. You seem to have all the great places covered
Another nice hike tip ~ Thanks :)
What type of vehicle do you suggest to get to the 7 Falls parking area? Or just in general?
I used a regular car but I guess it depends on the current condition of the road
how did you find this
I don't remember but I think I read about it in a book
I went to seven falls last week and was wondering if you think it’s deep enough to cliff jump from the top of the falls? Love your videos btw lots of places I’ve never been and I’ve lived in nor cal my whole life
Not sure man, sorry. I didn't see any good take off spots. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there🤙
It is possible. There’s a 10-20 foot gap to clear though. Check out the “9 days in Nor cal” video on UA-cam. They jumped it. The roads were all closed for fire cleanup last time I tried

How long is the hike down to falls can u pls give me info on how we can get there do we have to camp
Was around 25-30 minutes down to the water
@@JesseStLouis thank u so happy I CCX ame across videos
🤙
Where is it exactly?
have you ever found snakes? and how do you handle them?
I've come across rattlesnakes before. If I don't bother them, they don't bother me.😉
@@JesseStLouis Thanks for the advice! My 12 year old son and I have been adventuring and we've encountered 1 rattle snake and I was a bit scared.

This is a love hate subscription.
Anything good down in Ventura Cty this time of year? I’ll be there with my two teens in 10 days.
Awesome
How can I find this place??
Man I can't find this place on alltrails.. damnnit lol
There's other sites that have directions 😉
Jesse St Louis but I’m soo lazy. 😂😂

I had some of the biggest and best kegs party in my life
Nice
Has anyone gone here this year 2023? And if so which route did yall take??
cool beans
Bro there's so much more
Sweet, seems like an epic spot loaded with good stuff
Upstream from #1 or a different path from the road? I’ve been to #1-5
Won’t be the same in our lifetime. Dixie fire took it out.
Please tell us why you go swimming in your clothing?
So I don't get sunburned.
@@JesseStLouis If you go swimming as nature's God intended, you will get tan all over and not have to worry about it.

Tip: get rid of the music & keep the natural sounds
Check out my latest videos, I've been experimenting with that. Let me know what you think.
I like the chill music in the background, it helps with the vibe. It breaks everything up and conveys the overall feeling. It's inspiring.
Dope vid but you should stop giving up locations so they don’t get trashed
What do u mean by "giving up locations" ??
Great helpful and insightful video, but dude your eyes look very demonic at the opening of the video.
when it comes to swimming holes, i get possessed, lol
Don't jump you will die you don't live here from what u said
Have you seen 9 days in nor cal? They jumped
