[@travisfinnern2779]

I wanted to thank you for all your videos. I watch every time (if available) before a hike in So Cal. Super helpful. Happy Hiking.

[@Hikingguy]

Big thank you!

[@fga1985]

Thank you for the nice video! It helps to know where I am going for the first time this coming weekend.

[@Hikingguy]

You're welcome and have fun, hopefully the video gives you an idea of what to expect

[@TupeloHoney6104]

Thanks Cris, great job!! Looking forward to doing this!!

[@Hikingguy]

Have fun! It's a classic

[@joeboxerrr]

went for my first time this past Friday and swam... I love that the water's flowing good at the moment

[@Hikingguy]

Nice, yea, the bowl looked nice, crystal clear water. I had swam in there a few years ago but it was a bit warmer than it was on this day. It's a great spot until the crowds show up.

[@newgrowth74]

I’m hiking this tomorrow. I hope the waterfall is flowing!

[@TNT_FPV]

Very nice video i hope to be able to check this out one day, thank you!

[@Hikingguy]

You're welcome, and def add to the list for winter / spring when it's green and there's water flowing, it's a solid hike

[@stepheneikmeier1866]

Cris another great hike that I bet almost all of hikers in SD do not know about. You are the new Jerry Schadd of Hiking San Diego. ( and OC, LA Riv, San Burdo) And other parts. Did I mention Turtle Head Pk or Mt Charelston in NV (Las Vegas) Keep it up Cris.

[@Hikingguy]

Ha well thank you again, and yea, trying to get the "best of" hikes up - so many great places and SD is nice when spots north are snowy or too crowded. Glad you're digging them! 👍👍👍

Hello, very useful information, one question is are you allowed to use a drone ?

[@Hikingguy]

It's a National Forest, so as far as I know, yes. If it were a Wilderness Area, you can't.

[@ivetg.420]

Other than the permit, do you need an adventure pass to park?

[@nicoleandjoshbaldwin4228]

Where are the camp sites?

[@KelsoTeam77]

We have a permit for this weekend. Was this on the weekend? I haven't been here in ages, but have heard stories where there are hoards of people (which I don't enjoy when hiking). How early did you go? Great video, thanks!

[@Hikingguy]

I did this on a weekday at sunrise because I wanted to make the video without getting other people in it. I've done it prob a dozen times over the year, sunrise has always been good. Once I left around 830am and it was already crowded. I'd say leave when it's dark and you'll prob have the falls to yourself. FYI they let 75 groups in with 5 person max / per group.

[@ericksmaindomain]

Is this trail open to bikes?

[@patrickpatterson3735]

What it’s illegal to jump off the rocks now?

[@Hikingguy]

People died

[@GQRS]

How long is the hike..?

[@Hikingguy]

check link in description

[@anthonylombardo4829]

What time did you go to beat the crowds

[@Hikingguy]

Sunrise

[@jaimiew1681]

How deep is the water?

[@Hikingguy]

Not sure exactly but when it's full its enough to jump into

[@TheOtherJCBroadcast]

It’s been a while since I’ve been there but it’s really really deep, like you could not touch the bottom with out scuba gear kinda deep in the middle. I have jumped from the 50ft cliff back before it was illegal and there was no concern of hitting bottom… I think there was a case in 2008 after the fire when silt made it more shallow but likely not an issue now
