NOTE: BECAUSE THIS HIKE GETS REALLY POPULAR IN WATERFALL SEASON, WE ARE LIMITED TO 50 HIKERS MAXIMUM, AND CAR-POOLING IS MANDATORY--THE RANGERS GET A BIT CRANKY IF WE PACK THEIR PARKING LOT. WE ARE LIMITED TO 12 CARS.
Park in the lot with the sign saying "Sandstone Peak trailhead".
DRIVING TIME: Typically it takes an hour and a half from downtown or west L.A to get here (or an hour from the San Fernando valley)
We will first pass a series of cascading mini falls. Then we will connect with the Grotto trail, and cross a much bigger waterfall. Soon, to our left,we will see falls #2 and 3. Then when we hit the canyon bottom and an old campground, we are really close to the grotto.
The Grotto is really cool because this is a 20 foot underground waterfall, located in a room under a giant boulder in the canyon.
POST HIKE optional dinner at Neptune's Net (located at PCH and Yerba Buena Road)
