[@jimfoot-p7g]

@@lopezexplora I grew up in that area, I’m now 72 and enjoy your videos. I’ve been to that canyon so many times. That was my stomping grounds in the 60’s.

@@lopezexploraI remember this place. Thanks for the video. Also, May I use a clip of it for a testimony? A friend of mine died in that Canyon and I wanted to share this memory. Thanks 🙏

[@AB-wv1bs]

Way back in 1979 in my youth my friends and I would drive past the tunnel and hike all the way down to monkey canyon. What a great time and memories

[@lopezexplora]

Great! Were there rock pools and big waterfalls, and how was the hike? Thank you

[@bobbysteffan2507]

Grew up going here. Havnt been in years. Mostly due to my car getting broken into when I was down there. But after watching this I have an itch to go back. It’s actually called monkey canyon because when the sun is right there is a perfect monkey face on the cliff above the lower pool from where the ladder is. And the ladder is for climbing up, you gotta jump!!! Haha. Awesome job picking up trash too.

[@lopezexplora]

Thank you for watching and the tip about the monkey Canyon , I’ll look for it next time I go!

[@charly9411]

When i was in Highschool in the early 90s we use to ditch a go there. Many good memories there 👍🏼👌🏼🤣😆

[@mariachacon4396]

You made it to Monkey Canyon Falls 🙌 fun spot 🤩thank you so much for the shout out ❤❤

[@lopezexplora]

I chickened going down that ladder tho 🐔 May be next time

[@hikebytes]

@@lopezexplora that ladder moves as you are going down and back up very sketchy! Better you didn’t risk it especially if you were alone! 🙏

[@Wrath6909]

I remember when I went there about 15 years ago the ladder was secure and I was able to do the 50 foot jump many times and it was safe. Also there’s a 80 foot jump across too and that was is scary when jumping from it.

[@antiurbanizm]

beautiful and congratulations. not your average hike!

[@lopezexplora]

Thank you 🙏

[@tracywinfield7789]

I'm the early 70's we used to call it hippy canyon... My dad used to own part of the resort with the bar and fish pond in the 70's right past the tunnel on the right it was washed out in 78 and ten people got killed. He also owned the falcon mines another 5 miles up the road. I grew up there in those mountains, running those trails...

[@mattsrowe]

Love your videos thank you ✌️

My pleasure, I’m so glad you are enjoying them! Thank you for your support 🙏

[@TuVidaIncreibleAL]

Wow!! Great video!!

[@lopezexplora]

Thank you 🙏

[@MrBillsmith60]

I wonder what the bacteria count of the water is

[@Splentfull]

Hey man I actually just did this trail 2 weeks ago and it was amazing but when I was going on my way to the ladder I slipped and almost fell off the 50 ft cliff next to the ladder its very sketch also those are not mosquitos in the video those are mosquito eaters they are harmless and actually eat mosquitos I went with my family to to this hike and everyone made it back safe thankfully also if you look straight directly from the water slide there are 2 cars that fell off the cliff

[@lopezexplora]

Thank you for watching, I’m glad you lived to tell. That place could turn into a very dangerous place if we are not careful

[@hikebytes]

You’re lucky to be alive! Glad you’re ok! 👍🏻

[@petervilla6228]

It doesn’t have to be a dangerous area, in February I slipped and fell in the easiest part of towsley canyon in Santa Clarita and I was hurting for a good month. “””SO BE CAREFUL ALWAYS”””.

[@hikebytes]

Absolutely True, we always pray before we hike, nice to have some higher authority helping as well 🤩

[@lopezexplora]

You are absolutely right, never underestimate Mother Nature in all aspects!

[@Shadowgrey5937]

where do you get the parking pass ?

[@lopezexplora]

To park anywhere in Angeles National Forest, Cleveland National Forest, Los Padres National Forest and the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument you’ll need a National Forest Adventure Pass Permit $ 5 per day or $ 30 per year that you can buy at more sports stores as well as gas stations and most 7 eleven stores near the Mountains

[@nature_exploring]

Awesome! I was thinking about going here today but decided to save it for another day. The water looks like it's calmed down a lot since I was there last (after the storms in the winter). Was this recent? Love the video!

[@lopezexplora]

Now is the time, go!! This was 2 days ago

[@nature_exploring]

@@lopezexplora awesome, thanks!

[@nature_exploring]

@@lopezexplora Awesome! I'll probably go within the next month or so. Thanks for the update on the location.

[@matthewjohnston5610]

This place is named after the bigfoots that used to live here. There were legends of monkeys in this area and the locals just called it that.

[@lopezexplora]

Thank You for watching 🙏

[@David-m7l8c]

Isn't it off limits due to the near extinction of species of frogs?

[@lopezexplora]

Not that I know of, and there weren’t any posting about it.

[@David-m7l8c]

@@lopezexplora Really? It was 10 or 12 years ago perhaps, it was under quarantine, and that was the reason for being off limits. I guess the frogs recovered? Oh well, nice video.

[@lopezexplora]

Thank you for watching

[@petervilla6228]

The thing I didn’t like was at 5:25 minutes, the rest WAS GREAT 😁😁😁

What is your kind of hiking?

[@chriswolff5459]

@@lopezexplora Though I have hiked for most of my life...mostly in the Sierra Nevada of California, I am old and worn out now. I am not happy with the trail systems in the San Bernardino Mountains, because I like to walk in the shadow of trees, and the heat is unbearable now! Gracias por tu reply Senor Lopez. Thank you for sharing your trails videos. Your voice track is quite assuring and clear. Keep on hiking young man!

Beautiful place good video, but how sad the walls of the canyon that nature carved are Scarred with graffiti

Yep! Thank you for watching

Nice video but damn this is kinda like Ur burning the spot u dnt need to tell everyone how to get there this soppost to be if u know u know type of spot!!! U should edit that part out!!!

I’ve discovered so many amazing places thanks to social media and everywhere I go I share with everyone, and I’m always mentioning about graffiti, trash and safety and that kind of stuff, my apologies if I can’t follow your requests

[@lopezexplora]

Trust me I’m doing what I can, every time I go hiking I’m always picking up trash, watch this: Cleaning up the San Gabriel River kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHncepmLn7GNeKs

NOPE! Not doin it!

[@MeridianSkyLight]

Shame there's graffiti there, keep that in the city.

[@Classic_Fun]

are there brain-eating amoebas in here?

[@lopezexplora]

Those are usually found on hot springs that don’t have much running water. When you are in the wilderness there is always a chance of that as well as snakes,spiders,bears mountain lions and such. Thank you for watching .
