Fish Canyon Falls & Darlin' Donna Falls

[Hikin_Jim]

I took a little hike yesterday to Fish Canyon Falls & Darlin' Donna Falls with my favorite hiking companion, Hikin' Joyce.

All four tiers of Fish Canyon Falls.


Darlin' Donna Falls. This falls reminds me of some of the falls I saw on my trip to Hawaii.

A "fried egg" (Matilija Poppy).


Apparently enthusiasm for hiking runs in the family. Right, Joyce? Joyce? Joyce?

How cool, I haven't been to these falls.

I almost fell of my chair laughing at your comment for the picture of sleeping beauty.

Miles of smiles,

Oh, you know me, Ellen, always clowning around.

Nice set of falls, but really easy to access so quite visited. However, since the primary route crosses a quarry, they're only open once or twice a month. If, on a day they're "closed," you take the round-about route that avoids the quarry, you'd have your own private falls more than likely.

Those falls look really nice. Darlin' Donna DOES look like some falls I saw in Hawaii too. The poppy picture sure is pretty.

You and Joyce crack me up. Sometimes I wish someone could carry me when I get all tuckered out on a hike!

It's a nice little canyon, and both sets of falls are nice. Fish Canyon Falls is one of the nicest falls I know about in S Cal. Quite dramatic and right now really good flow.

Now don't be getting any ideas.

Something about the rhythm of hiking that just does a little person in.

Something about a little one, passed out on her dad, that just makes me smile.

Great pics Jim. Happy times.

I wonder if Taco has seen this? he would love to rappel those falls.

We got a lot of smiles on the way out.

I was wondering about canyoneering possibilities to myself. The rock right around the falls looks really solid.
