This is one of the prettiest hike in all of SOCAL. Almost all hike is along a creek. This is the same hike as Bridge to Nowhere plus 3.6 more miles on less then perfect trails. We will need to pass the creek numerous times back and forth, you can expect your feet getting wet and even wading up to your hips in some locations. This is a relatively easy hike if you are in good shape, however, you must have a good balance. Trails in the narrows and some locations are a little rough to none existent on occasions, hiking in the river bed. Toward the latter part of the hike may require some scrambling and lots of boulder hopping. We will also see some natural stalactites toward the end of the hike right before the falls. If you were ever referred to being a goat, you may even get to see your own kind..with bighorns.. and this hike is for you..:)
We will meet at the end of Glendora Mountain Road Trail Head parking lot, at 7:45 AM and start the hike at 8:00 AM, same Trail Head parking lot as Bridge to Nowhere Hike. We should be back around 5 PM. We may stop and grab something after the hike. Further info closer to event day will be provided.
