This is an unbelievably beautiful place located only 40 minutes from Azusa California, it has pristine clear water and many rock pools to swim in!!
The only problem is that there is a lot of trash all over the place, so please if you decide to visit please make sure to pack it in and pack it out!! Don’t leave any trash behind, thank you.

Thank you so much for watching, most of my videos are time sensitive , that means I try to go places when there is a better chance of having the best views and experience. For example if you watch video of a seasonal waterfall and you decide to visit but when you get there it’s completely dry that’s a bummer. Same thing if I show wildflowers blooming, you visit and they are long gone! Or a place with snow, you go and it’s all melted!
Right after I go hiking I post my videos as soon as possible.
That’s why it’s very important that you subscribe and a active the notification bell so you won’t miss a thing!!

    Please keep it clean. Reminds me of fossil creek in Arizona. Priceless beauty
  • @mserra2693
    Thank you for making this video to help people find these beautiful, local places. And for most in the surrounding areas that cant afford to go too far away for a little getaway with your kids. Just clean up after yourselves!
  • @luluramos2981
    I'm glad this showed up in my feed. This brought back so many memories. We grew up going to the Azusa mountains, almost every day in the summer. We used to try to pile more rocks on the current dam to make the pools bigger 😁 Good Times!
  • @xtigerleelee
    Wow! Had no idea this existed by Azusa. So surprised to see how clear the water is. Love that the area is so clean as well. I will bookmark this. Thank you for sharing!

  • @tamaragorman7421
    Appreciate you sharing this! In the 70s we used to go to this river and play for hours there. We built our own rock pools back in the day. The water was beautiful and even had crawdads back then.
  • @Kitpu917
    Beautiful place thx for sharing. Unbelievable that people would graffiti the beautiful rocks there, place is sacred then they go and do that. Nice job on the video, and reminding folks to take there trash with them. ✌️

  • @dmotta2811
    Those are beautiful. Thank you for showing us.
  • It was never tagged up in the 90’s and was always kept clean . Some of us don’t bring spray paint and Modelo beer to have a good time . Please keep this place clean . Also maybe read some history books on the people that were in these mountains long before any of us And even with gold mining and other ventures never destroyed it like this new generation.
