Eaton Canyon

 Today's Friday hike was to the waterfall in Eaton Canyon, just above Pasadena. It was a beautiful day with temps in the 60's.  It's pretty dry out there without much rain since last spring.

We had to cross the creek ten times back and forth across rocks like this.  

Yes, I slipped and fell in the creek. 

Since it happened on the way down I was only wet for the hike down and the 45 minute drive home in the car.🙄

Eaton Canyon has had some major floods.

There was a teeny tiny bit of fall color.

There are several ruins of "water mining" around. 

This is what they called getting water from the foothills down to the areas below.

This is an abandoned water tunnel. It's been since filled in so people can't crawl through it.

They are all over Eaton Canyon.

This bridge was part of an original toll toad built in 1912 that was going to go to Mt. Wilson. 

It is no longer open to cars.

Here sits a yellow dumped warbler.

We made it to the falls!
