Hiking at Eaton Canyon Falls

Sorta spontaneous trip to a hiking trail here in local LA. Eaton Canyon is located in Pasadena and it's about 30 minutes from LA. I remembered how much i enjoy hiking and nature.

On the way up we did see a rattlesnake, so if you decide to go, please don't go into brushed areas covered by shade off the trail. As long as you keep on trail, you should be fine.

We got there at about 12pm, and stayed until 4pm. At the actual waterfall, we played in the water for about an hour. So it takes about 1.5 hours to walk there. One thing that wasn't noted in any of the Yelp reviews was that if you ever end up crossing a bridge, you went too far. You actually have to go underneath the bridge to reach the waterfall.

Here are some helpful tips:

1. Bring at least 2 bottles of water.
2. Bring swim attire and towel
3. Bring extra socks just in case
4. It's better to wear quick drying sports shirts rather than 100% cotton
5. Pack light, it's not a far hike
6. Your shoes will get super dirty
7. Sunblock and hat is nice
