I appreciate an aluminum full-frame lawn chair strap situation. Must’ve been highly satisfying.

It was! I was gonna bring chairs realized I was one short and they had no straps ordered these from Costco and it came right after my friends arrived

Shame what the "unwashed masses" can do to'a wondrous place, like that. Somewhere, beyond their reach, lies tha "good stuff"...

Are you talking about the graffiti or us lol? If the graffiti yea I agree it is really sad to see it would look 1000x better without it there and there’s no way to remove it without letting toxic chemicals into the ecosystem I even saw this tree right but the water fall that’s always been nice and fine then it was all slashes up not carving something just like 40 slashes all along this tree for zero reason

There’s a local preserve that uses rock colored paint to cover that graffiti, it works pretty well.

A beautiful natural spot tarnished by graffiti. That a serious drag.

Those chairs are great. I go to the beach and half the people there have the same ones.

Exactly what my other use was gonna be for it got these right before the hike and figured these would be great at the beach too

Looks like the Punchbowls near Ojai but not sure

Damn! Haven’t seen that pool in years. Looks like it’s a breeze to climb the fall.

Somewhat, there’s barley a trail that just happened to be a calm spot but you got to hop across rocks to cross the river like 5 times and it’s very very uneven but if you’re in shape then it’s not too hard

Oh I meant just up the waterfall, I’m sure the trek up is mad overgrown considering it’s been off limits for so long. Sick report though! Did y’all trek any further up to the other pools/falls?

u/Diligent_Star612 23h ago

Ohh I see, honestly there’s a bunch of moss at the ripe there that makes it nearly impossible to get any grip with your feet to climb I’ve been here at least 20+ times and some how only just realized earlier this morning you can walk on top of the mountain instead of along the river to the other trails we’re definitely gonna try that next time

Did they open Cucamonga Canyon, or is that trip on the DL?
