Re: West Fork San Gabriel river 12/25/10

Note: Its Wetherby, not weatherby. Did I get to obscure canyon? Kind of. There was a particular waterfall that I wanted to see from the bottom...which I never got there...and got near to the top instead...when it was dry. So when I planned on going there..no way, foiled all the time. But when not pl...

Re: Part way up the West Fork of Bear Creek

Glad you were able to do it! I didn't go up too far (probably ~0.5-1 mile up) but plan on going further up soon. I understand what you're saying about the wild look. It's certainly different from the main fork. The waterfall I stumbled upon was quite nice though. I'd love to go up and search for mo...
