In the "SoCal Places to Visit" posts I will talk about a place that I've been to. If you're new to SoCal, a tourist or simply someone that lived here a long time and want a new place to discover, then these posts are for you.
Let's get started.
My friend and I have been trying to find a decent waterfall around here for a long time. We hiked up to what we call the "water faucet", the smallest waterfall ever...if you can even call it a waterfall. We also hiked to what we call the "bootleg waterfall", a waterfall that is basically runoff water with a very strong smell of sewage...I saw people jump into it...I kid you not.
After seeing some of my cosplay friends have photoshoots by a decent looking water fall, I asked around for its location.
We ended up at Angeles National Forest. This place is beautiful. There are so many different trails. You definitely won't get bored quickly and you will have to come back again to hike the other trails.
The waterfall is about a 2 mile hike down the mountain. It's a very peaceful hike. You don't have to be an experienced hiker/mountain climber to do this one.
If you visit in early spring crossing the river may be a bit difficult because the water level is higher; however, in late spring crossing the river shouldn't be a problem.
This place should be a must to visit for all SoCal residents.
Some photos:
Hike down the paved part of the mountain (about half a mile), cross this bridge and then there are plenty of signs for different trails.
The trail is full of plant life and there are plenty of shaded areas.
The path you take makes you cross the river about 3 times.
You will see some cabins on the way to the waterfall.
We spotted this little guy swimming in the pond right in front of the waterfall.
Since we went there during late spring the waterfall was not as big as it would have been during early spring. Still it was very beautiful and peaceful there.
Enjoy!
