Emigrant Wilderness backpacking | Stanislaus National Forest | West Cherry Creek Falls | California

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Your first line in this video is epic! LOL Still lots of snow at the trailhead. Past that, the landscape is amazing! The creek is perfect for a break. The Middle falls are spectacular, no wonder it is one of your favorites. Your tent looks minuscule! Sorry you didn't make it on time. What a hike, kudos Leon!

[@waterfallmadman]

Within Hiking Distance thanks so much! It is surely an amazing place. The tent is probably much bigger than it looks. ha ha.

[@BeCCaWhere2GoNext]

An excellent video of your adventure in this beautiful area. Very beautiful waterfalls. I love the fairly open rocky terrain sparsely populated with trees. Full view and like. Thank you for sharing my friend.

Those were some big cat tracks. Absolutely beautiful area for seeing some waterfalls. Cool video

[@waterfallmadman]

Backpacking With Jason I was concerned about seeing those so close to my camp. They looked fresh. But hey, I survived. Thanks for watching!

[@beckhykes7733]

I like this waterfall, it looks like it has three streams coming down it. Makes it look beautiful brother. Some good hiking leading up to the falls also.

[@waterfallmadman]

BeckHykes yeah it's pretty amazing at high flows. I took tons of pictures of this one. thanks! :)

[@waterfallmadman]

Jennifer Lupine thanks very much, Jennifer!

[@generalsmedleybutler340]

Was this very recent? The main Cherry Creek between Cherry Lake and Huckleberry Lake is also very beautiful, with many waterfalls and interesting spots. It’s not too difficult of a cross country route unless the water flow is very high. There is an official but often difficult to follow trail between Lord Meadow and Huckleberry Lake.

[@waterfallmadman]

General Smedley Butler a couple months ago. I'm behind in my video postings. lol. I have been to Lord Meadow before and camped there. I did not go to Huckleberry. Thanks a lot for watching.

[@PacificNWHiker]

Beautiful area. Enjoyed the video.

[@waterfallmadman]

Hike with Steve thank you very much, it is an amazing place.

[@lastlaughhapps]

Love that area!

[@waterfallmadman]

lastlaugh me too. thanks!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Aw, I just read this was earlier in the year, was going to say snow...still. The Lower Middle Falls at West Cherry Creek looked real wild and well worth the 'Holly Crap' You looked exhausted in the car, seemed like a good trip, cheers Alan

[@waterfallmadman]

Alan METALMAN - Outdoors thanks very much. it was tough but definitely awesome. yeah, there would not be any snow right now - ha ha.

[@Thelifeofwiley]

Man, those views where incredible, and the waterfalls stunning as usual. awesome video, sir

[@waterfallmadman]

Wandering Wiley thanks very kindly. it is an amazing spot for sure.

[@ColemanOutdoors]

What a great trip, Leon! Those were some spectacular waterfalls!!! I love the quesadilla idea, but I think the Naan bread would make it tough getting the cheese to melt. This reminds me of my father in law making quesadillas at the top of Whitney one year. Some JMT thru hiker offered him $20 for one. My FIL is not one to take advantage of people....he only charged him $10! I kid....he didn't charge him anything. :)

[@waterfallmadman]

Coleman Outdoors funny story. i'm not giving up on the quesadilla idea yet though. ha ha. thanks for watching.

[@LostAgainwithJim]

I'm adding this trail to must hike list! The trip looked great!

[@waterfallmadman]

Lost Again with Jim it was awesome for sure. thanks for watching.

[@LostAgainwithJim]

@@waterfallmadman looking to head out this way. It seems like it's mostly cross country, is that pretty accurate?

[@beetlebarbour6334]

@@LostAgainwithJim Yes, it's a hard trail to follow. Lots of trees down, wiped out the trail in a lot of places.

[@SacWildlife]

I remember doing a trip to Hyatt Lake when I was about 15 (about 1976) - I don't remember this - thanks

[@waterfallmadman]

SacWildlife the waterfall is quite a bit up from the crossing to Hyatt. Thanks for watching!

[@SacWildlife]

@@waterfallmadman Good - I'd like to think that I would remember this - :-)

[@petr-podrouzek]

Very nice, my friend ! :-)

[@waterfallmadman]

Petr Podroužek thank you!

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

Wow! I can totally see why you keep returning here. It's like a slice of heaven. 👍 Great solitude, amazing landforms, and and epic campsite. Great falls too. 😍 Was it 1,300 total elevation gain?

[@waterfallmadman]

Roadtrippin' with Takacs yes, it is an amazing place. I love that canyon so much. Yes, I think the total was 1300.

[@InTheGardenandTheBlessings]
