So I was with my friend on a hike to some waterfalls deep in the upper reaches of a canyon in the Angeles National Forest and broke a rule I’ve followed for all of my life. I found a plant that I did not recognize, but have seen on trails and by local streams in the past, with ripe dark berries on i...

You’re either right on the idlehour trail after you hit it’s high point which is maybe 1/4mile from the trailhead orrrr you’re on that spot just north west of henninger where that palm tree kinda is

Thanks! Yeah it is so nice back there and worth the effort to get there for sure. So peaceful and WILD

Did you see any fish back there?

Hey! That looks like an awesome trip. It’s so pretty back there and I can’t believe I’ve never been to fish fork yet

I’m down to go back! It was definitely a memorable trip but it’s also super gnarly of a hike up that wash. No trail and just boulder hopping for miles while completely exposed. @charlescurtis1984 wanna join us?

Wow that is amazing! That giant garage that collapsed had some trucks inside and a whole shop in the back. That’s amazing that it all collapsed. I lost all my photos of this trip so it’s cool seeing these photos again!

Oh wow! Where did you get that aerial?

As SAR is scaling back operations, and nothing has been found, I'm compelled to share an important fact, of which SAR was made aware early on in this search effort. Colin had drafted an email to me but did not send it. His brother found it and sent it to me later. In the email titled "East For...

Absolute legend status for this trip report

Not looking to good in east fork :/

In an old thread from 2017 You talked about Canyon eerring a waterfall North of bishota Canyon. I have been wanting to hike to it. Can you reach the base of the falls through bichota Canyon without climbing equipment. Do the falls have a name do you have any pics of it? Any information would be gre...

Also high tops are key. Good to wrap your pants around the top to prevent debris from getting in yo shoe!

Anybody heard more? Where was he, exactly?

Looks like right on the face.

Hey guys, it has been a privilege over the last nine years or so to be part of this small but inclusive group of hikers with an unhealthy obsession with our local mountains. I am hoping that this will not be my last post but I was just diagnosed with a terminal cancer and may not be around much lon...

Sean wrote:How far is it from a parking lot/space?

Like 1/8 mile lol

dima wrote:Sure, yeah. Why not. The photo above is a drone shot?

Yes! The tunnel is roughly 15 feet above the canyon bottom but it's up a very steep loose rock slope.
Heres a closer shot

Sean wrote:Nice. I'm betting it's full of bats.

Bats are treasure

Hey guys! I've been looking for a specific tunnel for years in the foothills that was dug in the 1800s. The main goal was an irrigation tunnel for Pasadena's early ranches. My brother @1blazepatrick1 and I hiked the canyon and actually found what looked to be the tunnel high up on a cliff next to a ...

Lots of smoke. Looks bad

Wait. Was it stolen?!

dima wrote:Have you actually tried to go out and climb something you found this way? Are you able to eyeball the rock and tell if it's going to be solid or not?

We have been to a couple in a canyon by crystal lake which was super solid granite!

Haven't been to the ones in the photos yet though

Some of you may know me for finding mines in them mountains but now you will know me as the one searching for boulders! My brother and I have been looking for big-ass boulders to climb on for a few years now. We tend to just look with binoculars or use Google maps to search remote canyons for some h...

Jeko, are you on Strava?

Yeah I'm Matthew Jackson. I followed you last weekish

You guys are insane... Been tracking the strava updates and telling my friends about all this as you were doing it. Beyond impressed

It's looking East at sunrise

A timelaspe I took off Mt. Mooney Rd. Music made by yours truly.

I just recently bought a DJI Mavic Pro and I have begun experimenting with aerial mapping. I have been uploading to OpenAerialMap an have been using WebODM and DroneDeploy for the capture and processing. The software can actually map an area in 3D as well as provide maps that you can upload to vario...

I've checked the mrds and usmin but can't find any record of this place being a mine. Might be worth checking out in person!
