    I hiked it 50 some years ago 7 Falls without the rope. Very hairy at times and I slipped off a cliff and somehow, someway, I lifted myself up from falling severely down to the rock floor, by Two Fingers. Impossible, but God did me a Miracle that day! Thank you Lord.

    I used to do the trail maintenance on that trail and the other front country and back country trails arround there.
    Still live in the area. Many of those trails connect to back country trails that continue into to San Rafael and Dick Smiths wilderness.

    The Falls looks like the Punch Bowl falls in Santa Paula.. about 45 miles southeast.

    Very nice!! will make sure to check it out next time I'm in the SB area. Probably won't have much water in the hotter months I imagine, but worth the beautiful hike(s) nonetheless I'd say!

    • @californiathroughmylens

    I used to go there a lot in the late 70's and 80's. I try to avoid the known places. There are still a few hidden Gems the new people or out of towners don't know about. I check from time to time to see if people find them. But so far they are still hidden gems.

    Thanks so much for the great video! That is such a pretty trail! What is the prettiest trail in California, in your opinion? A lot of people will say Mt. Tamalpais, but we really like the Palomarin.

    Great video California is so beautifully. Im looking to move to Southern California once I get enough money to do so but I am worried about snakes should I bring something when I go hiking to keep them at bay like a walking stick.

    • @californiathroughmylens
      @californiathroughmylens  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have been on hundreds of hiking trails and only seen snakes a half dozen or so times. If you are worried about them you can bring a hiking stick though like you said

    • @Nagranddan
      @Nagranddan 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just keep an eye out and make sure to look down and to the side. Can't hurt to have a walking stick as well, but your biggest way to be safe is just keep an eye out.

    You mentioned bikes, are mountain bikes allowed on the ridable sections of the trail?

      I am not sure but I think they are probably allowed on some of them as I saw a couple on the trail. Def double check that though

      It took me about an hour to get to the top of Inspiration Point. It was probably about 3 hours total to go to the waterfall and stuff but you can prob hike it faster if you are not taking lots of video clips like me haha
