Phantom Falls Hike in the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Phantom Falls is an impressive 140-foot seasonal waterfall situated in the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve outside of the town of Oroville. It is one of those waterfalls I have wanted to visit for a long time and I was glad to finally get to see it after the 2019 rainy season. Check it out if you are in the area but make sure to bring a GPS track with you.

That's my hometown!! Thanks for sharing it.
Beautiful I did not know this existed! My home town of Paradise (just north of there) burned down this year. I’m glad there is still green, and wildlife thriving in the surrounding areas.
So sorry to hear that Paradise was your home town. So sad about all of the fires in CA this year.
I have been there this April, flowers flowers absolutely everywhere. Dreamlike, out of this planet
As an indigenous Native American from the Butte County foothills...I absolutely love 💕 this area in Spring Season. Table Mountain is known for the flora that grows in this specific area alone. I would encourage a trip to the Chinese Wall in the Lake just past one of the cemeteries. I
The County has a great Chinese history in this specific county as well. 🙇🏻♀️🔍☝🏽❤️🇺🇸🙏🏽🕊
Wow. Never knew about phantom falls. Thanks for sharing.
No problem!
Italionmex2015 me either I went to school in oroville and grew up in Gridley next time I visit I guess !
Josh Dollins absolutely. Hopefully there will be some water when you go.
You made this hike super informative. That's why I love watching. *The things you need to know about like the pass and app.
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
Such a beautiful place!
Went today! It was great!
That dope !! a mini water fall in the middle of nowwhere ...thanks for sharing !
No problem, thanks for the comment Ian!
Josh the brave👍 thanks for getting us such a close shot
haha I have never been called that before!
Thanks for sharing this
Wow! What a beautiful part of Cali and the falls were magnificent and inspiring. 👍
It was a beautiful spot I had never explored before!
Imagine coming up in this as a indigenous person. Out of all the cool California spots I’ve been to so far that’s always what I think of. We’re places like these spiritual grounds to them did any live here during wet season.
super job we have a table mountain near Jamestown. Was just there last week wild flowers were amazing. hiked with my 77 year old buddy and a pregnant woman carrying toddler on her back. View as amazing as well. Cheers.
I’m about 45 minutes away from here. Just learned about this trail. Definitely going to hike it.
Wow!!! This is now definitely in my hiking bucket list! Thanks so much for showing us!
No problem!
These falls are beautiful! I’ll bet the fields are just gorgeous right now with all the wildflowers! Thanks for sharing this area.
I bet they are as well!
Thanks for sharing- It’s probably not all about the falls but the beautiful surroundings and the greenish feelings about being in Ireland, even if you’ve never been there 😆 ☘️
California is beautiful!!
Looks like a large cave behind the bottom of the waterfall! Beautiful location!
Yea, I am sure it is cool down at the bottom as well.
This one was close to home so that’s where I explored today. Thanks for the insight beforehand. Not as much water flowing today but still a beautiful spring hike
Thanks for sharing a good falls I want to visit...
Shimmering as usual، glory, peace ❤
Wow.... waterfall is placed real natural hidden place. I put in my bucket will visit here. Thanks for great information.
No problem, yep it is a pretty cool waterfall to find!
Josh thank you for another great video👍
Great videos thanks for sharing!
Oroville,Ca 8 hrs frm so cal.... Been there.
Bummed you didn't make it down to the bottom of the falls. There's actually a good route down the first small canyon just on the far side of the falls. There is a small old mine down underneath the overhang behind the falls.
Beautiful
For anyone wants to go now, the parking lot is much better and the trail is a lot easier to follow. But do NOT wear flip flops people! Just went to Phantom Falls with my fiancé yesterday because she has only lived in Oroville for a few years now. But I couldn't believe how many people wore dangerous shoes, and improper clothes! Like dressed and skirts!
Thanks for sharing the video!
Also, DO NOT USE Google Maps! It will lead you to the wrong place!
Great video! I just dropped a video of my hike to Phantom Falls too. Such a beautiful hike and waterfall espy when the wild flowers are blooming.
Another great video Josh. If you ever go back maybe you could take your drone. If it’s legal there I think drone shots of the waterfalls would be incredible, probably the wildflowers too. Thanks for taking me along to so many beautiful and interesting places I could never visit myself!
It IS an impressive waterfall! Actually they all are - super gorgeous and just incredibly beautiful scenery! Amazing to walk through cow fields and see that type of varied landscape and water features. Nice video as always 👍 -Heather
I agree, I was surprised by how beautiful the area was!
Interesting content , cows scare me due to bad childhood experience .
That's a odd looking waterfall. Thanks for the vid. Nice.
We did that hike about the same time and its a rad little spot.
Thanks for the hike suggestion! Just completed it for my first ever hike.
Klamath Travels was there water?
@@Shady0utkast Quite a bit, I'd say 4-5 stream crossings, really muddy
You can 100% get to the bottom, there’s an old mine behind the water fall
so many places to visit in Cali.
I agree, I always find more places to explore!
Cool I live there
Unique terrain...
Your video inspired us to do it this weekend for my dogs very first hike! It was amazing.
Tyler Plaza so awesome! How was it?
@@californiathroughmylens beyond amazing. I saw your video Friday and texted my girlfriend a link and said "we have to do this." Next thing I know I'm buying a day use land pass for us and we drove from Sacramento to Oroville Sunday. Had no idea this was so close to us!
@@tylerplaza7845 haha that is so awesome, I am glad you got to do it while the water was still flowing!
amazing!!!!
Great video. Added to my to do list.
Gold nuggets in that stream you walked along. 100% 😁
Yesss
Wow that's a real canyon at the top of phantom falls. Looks like yosemite's half-dome. So many places are titled canyon but it's often just a hill. The meandering creek looks like it was freshly cut into the meadow with a knife. I'm so used to seeing boring "dry river beds" with no water in my area.
Hey Josh, just a little suggestion. Maybe include some scenes from the town of Oroville with your crew doing breakfast or lunch. It would be cool to see the community, as I'm sure most of the viewers have never been there. Also, this would make your video's longer, which I don't really mind (unless it's going to add too much video production time). Keep on.
Thanks for the tip, good idea to add more of the city, I just drove through it on this trip but will keep that in mind for the future!
Shoot Josh, until you got to the waterfall I thought you were in Northwest Illinois. L o L. Love your videos Josh.
haha I know what you mean, it was pretty flat!
How tough or how long is the hike? I'm recovering from eight broken ribs, but I'd like to give it a try.
Very nice!
To get a land pass for a large group do you just need one for the whole group of 1 pass per individual?
I felt like you were talking to me on this one LOL. Now I can explore with no fear of getting lost. Thank you Josh for always giving us useful tips of where to go.
No problem, glad it was helpful!
Not up to him to make sure you can figure it out lol
How long does it take to get there from a parking lot?
What is a lands pass and where do you get one
Can someone hike down to the caves behind the falls?
Is it to late to go in may or June??
I love your videos ! What sort of camera equipment do you use and are you thinking of buying a drone? That would be awesome ! Please keep up the great work.
I use a Sony A7Riii for my camera and I have a DJI Mavic Air but I don't always bring it with me. I have shot a few videos on my iphone though which works well also!
You gotta pay to hike this? :/
Nice video! I should check it out. Did you shoot most of that on a go pro?
I shot all of this on my Sony camera A7Riii
We should collab! I’m a micro 4/3 shooter.
I wanted to go
There this past summer, but it was too smoky.
Bummer, it would have been dry probably as well.
other than the falls, is this a good place for landscape photos?
It is mostly small rolling hills and not a lot else so its prob not great for landscape photos unless that is what you are looking for.
@@californiathroughmylens thanks for the info.
This entire time I'm thinking, who owns that land? Man I wish I had some land so I can build a house...
Went there last year no one knew how to get there lol
I understand, it is hard without a track to follow
Everything is all dry out now smh
