I never knew there was such pretty hiking trails just outside of Los Angeles. Although, I had to wake up at the butt crack of 6 am, but it was completely worth it. I never really go hiking in the summer because my greatest enemy tends to come out during the summer times…the ever-so-awful evilus lizardus.
So misty mountains, cool earth, cold temperatures — those were perfect hike conditions for me.
I went with a group of my Kickball friends who are always a fun bunch.
The hike was long and surprisingly arduous (probably because half the trail was a bit slippery from the previous day’s rain). But that waterfall was a very welcome surprise and definitely worth the hike. I will be back…y’know, after summer and when all the evilus lizardus are hiding under the rocks where they belong.
Stop and Stare 
We hiked here too!! Ian has your same hatred of hiking due to the ‘ever-so-awful snakerus’. When we went last summer, we saw a snake EATING a evilus lizardus. haha. that would have been awesome for you both to have been there together. Promise next time you come back we’ll go hiking! I’ll ward off all evilus lizardus spirits!
