Had the chance to join other backpackers this past weekend to hike to the 3rd Stream Crossing campground. Had a great time and was able to find the falls nearby.

Looks like nice stuff.

Yeah, I saw some of this stuff last time I was out there too:

Irresponsible in my opinion in a regularly travelled area. Do that stuff way out in the boonies.

I was actually surprised that the area was clean and free from tagging and trash past the Cucamonga Wilderness sign. It is by far, one of the cleanest places I've explored in a while...I didn't have to carry an extra load of trash on my pack on the hike out :D

It was, but I just wished that my legs were in better shape because I wanted to go to the Icehouse Saddle but for some reason the short 2.3 miles got to me...must be my smoking habit :oops:

The pull up to Icehouse from Comanche is pretty tough if you're carrying full gear. Nice hike though and not too often done. You'll seldom see others on that stretch of trail.
