Only evidence that any1's been there, is these pics, purportin 2b from 1893. Surely, she's had customers, since then, but not evrything that's done, lands on social media, especially ifit predates the internet. Who knows what tales of wonder, are locked-away, in Granpa's attic?

Just wonderin if any1's been, or knows of some1 who has?

We madit to within 300yrds last time, but tha clock ran out onus, n betwixt this heat, n fam stuff, it's gonnabe abit, erwe can go back to finish tha job...

Just looked through the newspaper archives. Lots of old articles about fishing, potential dam construction, and rescues of hikers. The rescue victims maybe we hunting for waterfalls, but none of the articles I came across are specific about that.

Interesting! Tekewin, you know anything about this? (He's my go-to for knowledge of mountains south of here ;) )

I didn't realize the mountains north of San Diego south of San Gabriel Valley that aren't the San Jacintos get this rugged.

That looks like the same falls in JoeHardway's photo, right? Amazing. You people seem to know everything.

Interesting AW!

Ranger Jessica n crew likely came down tha maintained trl, comin down from tha Jesus Camp.

Where'du find this li'l nugget of intel? AI drew'a blank, even when searchin for "Rainbow Falls". I'll continue callinit Slide Falls, as 1893 predates Ranger Jessica. Sides! I already call'a falls in Agua Tibia Cyn "Rainbow Falls", azits mist had'a brilliant prism effect, when I happened to lay eyes onit. Guess if CA State Parks remembered this 1, they'd renamit "ChittyChittyBangBang" or whatever mouthful they believe tha Kumeyaay Ppl would'a calledit. ...
