TRAIL CANYON FALLS

 A couple of weeks ago, I checked out Trail Canyon Falls, This has to be my second, prettiest local fall this year since the rainstorms. By far today the prettiest is Escondido Falls which I will talk about in another post. 

It's a short hike but well worth the effort. It is also best to go when it isn't too hot because it is mostly exposed as you get closer to the falls. 

It was a good time to go. I found lots of mushrooms along the way. Every waterfall that I have visited, I have also been on a mushroom hunt. So far, I've found lots of cool shrooms. 

Anyways, as expected the falls were flowing beautifully and along the way there were a few stream crossings. The water level in some of those areas was ankle deep. 

It was really cold and windy once we approached at the falls. Taking pics with my phone was a challenge due to all the mist spraying on my phone. So, I could not really get those close up shots like I wanted. Plus, I forgot to bring my waterproof phone pouch.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed the scenery and continued on to the top of the falls. The water crossings on this side were deep. We definitely could not cross without getting wet. 

A good time to visit is during the week to avoid the crowds.

To add, I had heard of recent car break-ins. Do not leave valuables in your car. When we arrived at our cars, someone has used a maker and wrote on my friends car window accusing her of not properly parking. We were clearly on the opposite side of the NO PARKING signs posted near the trailhead. Whoever did this was just your typical asshole
