Nice find Dude! 👍P, ease go back there NOW. 😢Place looks unrecognizable from the torrents of rain from all the January storms! Former SJ resident of almost 30 years, used to walk my Huskie back in there. Just beautiful little canyon and surrounding woodlands. Just lovely it was. Will take many years to return to its former glory. But it WILL! 👍🙏🏻😁

Which entry point is it to get to that trail?

Good video. Excellent editing, fabulous commentary. I see your treacherous hike (and lack of proper equipment to proceed🤣😂😅) but where is the trailhead you took. Is it off a main trail?

I am your new fan

A ranger told me the trail closed because someone tried climbing it and the rocks are slippery. So he or she cracked there heads

Actually it’s a $1000 fine. The sign is old. And there’s always ignorance of the law is no excuse.
