Very cool location! Love it! Free is always a good price! Did you find Sam? You know, Yosemite Sam...LOL Sorry that is what came to mind. Amazing falls!! Awesome indeed! Take good care and hope you are looking forward to a great week ahead...Bruce and Otis
Free parking was a great surprise! Gas is so much extra it really helped. This place was downright amazing! The power of the waterfall is intense and beautiful! Didn't find Sam this time, maybe next time 🤣. Thanks for watching Bruce and Otis!!
My favorite waterfall! It's an amazing experience. The local news saw my video and did a whole story about it. Awesome adventure! You should definitely check it out 🤙
THANK YOU THAT YOU CANNOT STOP FILMING, because I cannot stop watching!!!! WOW! Impressive and thank you for the history. I cannot wait to go with my family! Amazing video.
Thank you very much! I hope you get to go, this place is so amazing! You feel the "magic" of the vibes when your there. The power of the waterfall is so intense and beautiful. It's truly amazing! Thanks again 😁
Great video!!... we've done that hike a couple of times now and glad you mentioned there's rattlesnakes because there is.. especially in the grassy areas...
Yes, definitely rattlesnake country! About 2 years ago I was hiking along the trail, slightly ahead of where you mentioned “rattlesnake country”, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge (7-8 button) rattle snake strike out towards my ankle, and then quickly retreat back into the rocks. He never even rattled, and thank God did not make contact. Thank you for your awesome videos, keep up the great work!
That sounds terrifying! I'm glad it didn't get you. I think out of all the things in the wild, rattlesnakes scare me the most! I always try and look for them. Sometimes I get tunnel vision while filming and forget to look down 😵💫. Thank you very much! That means a lot 😊
@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle Thanks, me too! And I’m right there with you, rattlesnakes make me very nervous. Single file on the trail, long pants and ankle high boots in snake country! 😊
Great video!!!! And great info!! I did not know the percentage of people who visit actually visit hetch hetchy. Their loss!! I am an avid hiker but not a pro video blogger. We hiked hetch hetchy late June 2023. The water falls were amazing and strong!! You don’t see falls like this in Chicago! Again, great video!!!!
Here is a link to compare the waterfalls.. huge difference… and yes, we ran into 2 bears… amazing!!, th-cam.com/video/qyPD16HJGVc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I-hdq7TFYl9lQSWT
Epic!! I was looking for bears but no bears this trip. I've heard from a lot of people say they saw bears on their trip. Maybe they were camera shy for me.
Thanks for making this! Great info and cinematography. We’re gonna go for the first time in a week or so and thought we’d find something different than Yosemite Valley. Definitely subscribing. 👍
Thank you very much! Awesome!! This place is amazing. Part of this video was featured on the news recently. The news crew went out and did their own video because of this. I'm excited I discovered it! I hope you have a great time.
Over 800 in 28 hours! This area is so amazing! I'm glad people are finding my video; more people should be aware it's there. It was a great place I accidentally found in an article. Harrison Ford did a special on this place a long time ago. Thanks!! 😁
Ryan! I remember you. What timing! I haven't ran long distance in years. I just found a race I wanna do, 50 miles. I just started training. How you been?
@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle 50 miles is tough. Its a long ways!! Im good, living in Sac. Trying to find new hiking adventures. Your channel has some good stuff
Awesome video Paul, I had to rewind a few times because I missed some info I was laughing so hard 🤣. now I have to go check this place out, another one to add to my list. I say leave the lake! how long does something has to exist to be considered natural? don't get me wrong, a 300 ft waterfall and a raging river would be awesome too, but I love the calmness and stillness of the reservoir. Probably one of your best videos to date! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Charlie, that means a lot coming from you. This place is amazing! The reservoir is absolutely beautiful and I thought the same way you did BUT being there does something to you. Thanks again and I hope you get to explore this area.
@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle I want dinosaurs to come back there also, just just in that valley... as a glimpse to the past... No, there's nothing in my coffee.
Thank you! I'm not sure...🤔. You could call a local buisness and ask, their usually up to date on the going ons. It's a magical hike!!! My favorite waterfall of all times; so far
I've read that June is still a good time to see good water flow. Bring lots of water!!! Sunscreen... the granite rocks along the hike reflect the sun and heat. It's very exposed. Though a short hike, this will dehydrate you and expose you to lots of sun/heat. So water water water and of course electrolytes so you can fuel your body back from the sweating. I didn't wear Sunscreen and burned pretty good. This is an amazing adventure!! My favorite waterfall! Hope you have an amazing trip 🤙
Bet they wish they hadn’t destroyed that dam since it started the severe drought in Northern California. They eliminated water from Yosemite. Then the fires and no water.
By far my favorite waterfall this season. 👏🏽
It was AMAZING! ❤
Beautiful views, Thumbs up 👍🏻
Thanks! This place is amazing!! The waterfall is thrilling!! Awesome adventure

Wow what a cool place. Crossing the waterfall on that bridge looks so exciting. We will have that on our list when visiting Yosemite again. 👍🙂

Hey hey hey! Great video man! All around. Love it.. New sub- Yosemite every year since I was 2. Going again in 33 days
Awesome! Thank you very much. I hope to make it to the valley for more adventures this spring. I love it there. Thanks again and welcome aboard 😁
Great video! Awesome personality! Informative commentary! I've never been, but I will now. 🤙
Thank you! It's an amazing place! Definitely worth the trip. A day you Definitely will never forget. Thanks again!
Nice video , lots of info and funny. Thank you
Thank you! I loved this place. A touch of this video was recently featured on a news special. My favorite waterfall so far!
Awesome awesome video man!! Keep them coming!
Thank you very much!! 🙂🙂
Thanks for sharing your adventure Paul! Taking the family to this spot for sure after watching this.
Thank you!! AWESOME! You guys will love it. It's such a unique amazing place. I hope you guys have a great adventure!! 😁😁
Makes me sad. What a beautiful area that has been covered.
Ditto! I hope it gets drained, we will see.
In 1973, our scout troop hiked from Touolome Meadows to Hetch Hetchy. It was a terrific 65 mile hike I recall.
Wow! I bet you saw a lot of beautiful landscapes. That sounds epic.
Wow I need to go back to Yosemite and check this place out!
It's an amazing place. My favorite waterfall of all time. Sounds cheesy, but the place feels magical.
Hetch Hetchy and Tuolumne Meadows hands down my favorite areas of Yosemite!!! So beautiful!!!
Awesome!!! I agree! So amazing!!
it is certainly a beautiful place that you are sharing, and you are doing great. you certainly do a great video to the Wapama falls
I've done that hike twice and you really capture the intensity and beauty of that special place.
That's awesome, I really appreciate that 🙂. I absolutely love this place! Still my favorite waterfall I've been to, so far. The area is truly magical.
Great video!!... we've done that hike a couple of times now and glad you mentioned there's rattlesnakes because there is.. especially in the grassy areas...
Thank you! I had my eye out for them. I think out of all the things dangerous on a hike, rattlesnakes scare me the most.

One of them was on the trail as we were hiking down towards the falls. The bears had just been on the trail you hiked in the video!
@MrDperk15 Wow! Scary and awesome! I've heard it's a hot spot for bears. Maybe next time 🐻
Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Thanks! It's an amazing place 🙂
Thank you! What a great video!
Thank you, that means a lot 😊. I loved this adventure!
Great video. Good point that only 1% of the millions who go to Yosemite NP visit hetch hechy.
Thank you very much! I love this place. The power of the waterfall is intense and beautiful
Great video. I’ll be sure not to wear lots of hair product. Thanks for the pro Tip Paul!
Lol 🤣. Ya definitely no hair product 🤣. Thanks! This was such a great day! Awesome area.

Fantabulous !
Thanks! I love this place!!
Paul, we ran cross country in high school. I just came across this after watching Mike Teselle from KCRA
Ryan! I remember you. What timing! I haven't ran long distance in years. I just found a race I wanna do, 50 miles. I just started training. How you been?

@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle It would be awesome if it did drain and you had the before and after footage...
@@wollertz They say within 1 year grass would be back, 5 years trees, 10 years it would be fully restored. But the reservoir is down right beautiful!!
@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle I want dinosaurs to come back there also, just just in that valley... as a glimpse to the past...
No, there's nothing in my coffee.
@@wollertz 🤣🤣 Dinosaurs would be great! 🤣🤣
Just curious. Why are you laying face down at the entrance to the cave? Very nice coverage of a controversial reservoir. (Tuolumne county girl, here)
It was a trend people were doing a while back; lay face down in random spots. Idk why I felt like doing it 🤣🤣. That area is so beautiful!! Thanks 😊
nice video!! do you think the fall has water right now? we went to lake tahoe to see water falls but they are empty
Thank you! I'm not sure...🤔. You could call a local buisness and ask, their usually up to date on the going ons. It's a magical hike!!! My favorite waterfall of all times; so far
Anyone know if water is still flowing on falls in late June ?
I've read that June is still a good time to see good water flow. Bring lots of water!!! Sunscreen... the granite rocks along the hike reflect the sun and heat. It's very exposed. Though a short hike, this will dehydrate you and expose you to lots of sun/heat. So water water water and of course electrolytes so you can fuel your body back from the sweating.

What month did you go in this video?
Hey! I think it was June. Currently (July), I've read this time of year is still a good time to go. Bring lots of water and sunscreen
@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle I might be visiting that place soon, hopefully it's not too hot
I think park passes are valid there. Check NPS.
Good call. I don't have a National park pass. Thanks! I'll look into that 😉
Bet they wish they hadn’t destroyed that dam since it started the severe drought in Northern California. They eliminated water from Yosemite. Then the fires and no water.
It still makes me sick seeing this valley destroyed by this dam
I love the wildness of nature. But if a man made dam has to go, so do the man made bridges that, for me, detract from the wilderness quality.
interesting interpretation!
