Photo Essay #2: Cucamonga Falls Hike

I don't know the actual name of the place we went to but it is up above the 210 frwy; trail head near Banyan and Sapphire. At first I was upset by the grafitti but there was actually some cool looking rocks along the way and especially at the waterfall, I liked the tagged rock wall there. I was still terribly upset with those who left trash near where the water collected in pools. I mentioned this to my young friend and he had never heard of such camping/hiking etiquette as "Pack it in, pack it out." Oh the young have so much to learn about ecology, nature, and respect.

This was my 4th of July adventure. We shared the space with about 30 other people. I'm glad I went and would do it again. Maybe Monrovia Falls next time...
