Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat !??!?! I've been to the waterfall but a whole new world has just been opened up to me . Thanks !

Loved watching this adventure, you guys never disappoint! The graffiti is heartbreaking though, who does a tough hike like that carrying water, snacks, and oh don’t forget the spray paint?

If these types of videos are not my favorite, then they are close to my my favorite. There is a feeling of being extra-alive when you are out in nature like this. I love the peacock. What a beautiful bird. I have never seen one in the wild like this. If I were uber-rich, I would have a few of them parading around the estate, and flirting with the females. That fly-in map you have at the beginning there is very cool. It really helps put you there. This video was posted only a few days ago, and already there are 10k views. So I am not the only one who is there climbing this gnarly terrain with you. You are obviously in great shape. Nice energy.

Awesome. Glad you got to do this trek...and you got to meet Homer the Peacock .

Black Star Cyn Falls is located near Silverado CA. There’s a bit of don’t-look-down vertigo as our climbing heroes are expected to climb up some pretty steep & sketchy hills using nothing but their bare hands, feet and anything else that’ll keep them from falling and risking serious injury. There’s also some we very nice scenery along the way and sadly a reminder that not everyone that ventures out are there to enjoy the scenery and use the “leave no trace” mentality. There are caves where people have chosen to leave graffiti. Putting the distraction aside this hike looked challenging for the average person but Adam & Elise made it look like a good workout routine. Note: I’ve been busy planning a vacation so, I’ll check back in mid May. Love & Respect.

I've been to that waterfall and inside that cave and to the Indian village.. it's absolutely amazing! One of my favorite hikes for sure.. But I've never done the mountain climbing route that you guys took.. but what a beautiful view up there! Great video!

Classic scrambly SoCal mountain terrain. Always steep, loose and messy. Reminds me of places in Sespe Canyon - a multiday adventure like this in Ventura County.

很美的风景，很好的体验，赏心悦目，感谢分享！

This is great to know about and thank you for all your discoveries of great hiking locations in Cali !!

This might be the greatest title ever. Who could resist a title like this? The loop of doom. If anybody read the title and didnt click, then they were obviously too scared.

Great clips always look forward to seeing them from bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Such unique scenery omg! and amazing adventure as always, thank you for this video!

Thank you again for an entertaining adventure! So enjoy the variety of your videos.

Love your guys videos. I will be trying this one in the next few weeks thanks to you.

What a great adventure! That waterfall cave was awesome! It blows my mind how many beautiful places you guys have explored! Thanks for taking us along!

Wow! What a beautiful sights! Amazing video, as always, you guys definitely rock!

Another amazing experience

Wow - this was great. You guys are a great team, even when things are challenging, you all are having fun :-). I loved how how you did the waterfall downclimb, that was NOT easy, impressive. Great job, great video, great adventure - thanks for bringing us along!

Wow ..you guys always amaze me ..Love your adventurous spirit

I miss you too 😍 your. Back 😁 cool rumble.

Another great video you guys, thanks so much for bringing all of us on these adventures! Somehow each video is better than the one before, or we just grow more fond of you both along the way, lol! I think it’s both haha! Take care and keep climbing safe!

Beautiful scenery thanks both of you for all those great adventures .👍👌🙏

Oh, I just love you guys!! From the peacock 🦚 at the beginning, the deep black hole you guys got in..Cringe.. and the amazing vistas y'all showed us at the top of that dicey climb, what a wonderful treat to go with ya'll on your adventures!! Your music reaches my soul!!! Be safe, take care and will be waiting on "our" trips .🤗❤️

Beautiful,🤩 good job always,👍🏻beautiful places, take care, greetings.😉👍🏻👏🏽👏🏽✌🏽😇

What a combination! Loved the WTF stage of it too. I'm a real amateur climber and once got lost/bushwacking looking for the Maltese cross in the Sederberg mountains RSA. Never felt so good finding a trial on top after heading into nowhere. All's well that ends well.

That is really impressive. You guys rock..

That is such an awesome hiking, rock climbing, route finding adventure. Kinda of exciting, I do agree about the graffiti, it is too bad it is all over that beautiful area!!! Love, love your adventures ❤️

Familiar feel, that is the kind of stuff my kids do to drive Dad crazy. I had to keep telling myself, they posted the video, so they had to have gotten through it. Love how Adam gets grumpy in the moment but then loves the thought of the adventure once its over. That is such a great example of hiking in general. No matter how hard, the memories are always fond after the fact. Keep the fun coming, its always a good day when you post a lh^2 adventure.

Never would have thought a gem like this in Blackstar Canyon exists... Nice job..

I go there A LOT with my dog and never once had poison oak 😅 Great video !!

Another great video from my 2 favorite Adventurers!

I need more Adam frustration clips! **BeeeEEP!** 😆 Great stuff as always. ❤️

Wow what a wonderful and challenging hiking experience to ever come all obstacles and still find a way you guys are the best love you ❤️🚶‍♀️🚶

Awesome video guys!!!! And the music!! Well y’all killed it!❤️

Great video guys! I've down black Star many times such a fun adventure.

Incredibly cool!!

Another epic vlog love it .

Looks so much fun if I was younger. Glad you guys had an adventure.

Nice this is in my backyard ;) loved seeing this one. That waterfall doesn’t always have water and looks like you picked a perfect time to visit

What a beautiful spot. amazing rock features

I’m the same way, I NEVER will go back the same way I came. My kids get mad at me… while I keep saying”the trail is just up here”🤣

In the early 1970"s I learned to repel down the waterfall. I must have done it at least 100 times. Faceing the falls there is a spot on the left where I wedged my way up and over the top. I did that 6 times before swearing off due to the danger. I loved that place.

Sitting in ‘sunny’ Queensland, Australia hoping the rain will stop at some stage over the next few days so we can get out and have an adventure of our own. In the meantime watching you two on your adventures is keeping me going. Love the scenery, excitement and even the grumps 😊

know when to hold them, know when to fold them........trekking poles that is. nice hike i always enjoy seeing these

You never disappoint! If ever you're in New England, the White Mountains can be epic

Loved every minute of this video. The views, waterfall , the black hole, Adam’s grumpy face This video had so many interesting elements . It was a short video for us 😅.

Oh my gosh the new music is amazing! Such a cool place

Hi Adam and Elise． Looks like a very interesting trail. Thanks for posting this video❣❣ Please stay safe and healthy😉

Great video and cool waterfall cave! I know a lot of hidden gems like this in the SW and happy to share info outside of youtube.

i bet you are still treating the poison oak. Thank you, so much. My wife and I used to be a little like you two, and been to some of the same spots, only 20 years ago. Never here, Black star Canyon. Best to you both, Keep it up and don't have a big accident!

I've never used hiking poles but you guys showed us how on that steep rock climb!! 😀😀 Thanks again for all your videos, we appreciate them so much!! PS - I ran a race years ago on the WS trail....50k in the pouring rain. All the oils from the poison ivy and oak leaves filled the puddle-laden trails. Wow had to go to the emergency room for a steroid shot when I returned home!

haha love it!! You two definitely have much bigger balls than me! Glad it's not just me who ends up bushwhacking, except for me it's gorse, heather and scree mainly rather than poison oak!! hahahaha

Oh you guys---this was fun to watch ! Reminds me of bushwhacking, route-finding and climbing waterfalls in the Cumberland Plateau (Tennessee "hills" before you get to the Smokies). Keep up the vlogging and having a good time!

Just found you guys. So refreshing how you put your videos together. Great content. I’m subscribed now. :)

Super, my friends ! :-) Have a good time :-)

Great video!

What a diverse area you guys live in so close to home. Beautiful surroundings it seems on every single vlog. Waterfall was great, I think you set a record for how many WOWs were said I lost count. You could also use this vlog as a tutorial on how to not hike a trail with a disclaimer only for professionals. 😃 Thanks again guys another one you hit out of the park! 👏👏👏🙏🏻🤗❤️

In the midst of the bushwhack and grumpiness, my bf overhears and says “someone get Adam at poptart” 🤣 it’s like we know you so well, w/o actually knowing you - thank you for sharing your adventures, with all the ups and downs 🤪

It is so funny and cute when you asked Am I coming? :)

Now THAT is a cold plunge!!! What a cool adventure + a peacock surprise! 🦚 But ughhh graffiti why. Hope you guys didn’t get too oaky! Love you 💗

At 2:20 (aside from Elise looking good) is an excellent example of an ancient river bottom conglomerate (note the rounded cobbles). Beautiful view at 11:00. Great hike!

Wow! The last 2 adventures have been gnarly! Great job bringing creativity and adventure....in spades👏 A little tip for poison oak exposure: When you get home, hop in the shower with a container of bleach. Pour the bleach down your arms and legs, and then "wash" using your bare hands, and rinse off. The bleach takes the oils off your skin, and you won't be affected. It works better, the sooner you can do it. So for example on this adventure, had you had a bottle of bleach in the car, if there was a water source at the trail head, you could have done a quick rinse of arms, legs, and exposed torso, then driven home, and done it for real. You can do it during the days following the exposure, if you start to see the itchy, red, blotchy areas appearing. Just pour some bleach on the site, let it sit for a moment, and rinse with cold water. Poison Oak is most "dangerous" when the leaves are orange and red, which typically happens later in the Summer and Fall, with exposure to hot Summer/Fall temps. Also, and I have no formal proof of this; it seems like people who don't eat dairy, have little to no reaction to it. (Dairy protein is seen as a foreign invader by the body's immune system, so the body ramps up the immune system, making it sensitive to everything. So people who consume dairy are more prone to allergies, asthma, plants like poison oak/ivy/stinging nettles, skin issues, brittle hair, etc.)

You guys have been killing it the past couple of hikes/climbs! Your fearless adventurous spirit amazes me, even if I get a little nervous watching you! I managed to take a gnarly fall just doing easy boulder hopping after my foot got caught in a bush. Wounds healed up, knee is still not 100% from the impact and I've lost a lot of confidence - now I just inch my way up and down like an old lady. 😂 Hopefully the confidence will come back and I'll dare to do things half as dicey as you! Hope your bodies are okay after the encounter with OC's poison oak population (you funny!). You're amazing and incredibly inspiring. Much love! ❤️

Once again, my palms are sweating and im sitting here eating ice cream! Haha, 💕 the video!

"Adam is getting a little grumpilumpigous!" Hilarious! 😅

Got my answer Elise on when your next video... It's a real treat to the eyes, much climbing difficulties.. But so much rewarding.. But I think Adam is really putting pressure on you.. But outcome is awesome.. Thanks for the the pleasure... ☺️😘

Awesome

I hope you two are not allergic to poison oak! I had poison ivy as a kid, and that was apparently enough to build up immunity to it later - was cycling down off of Skyline blvd in the bay area years ago, and took a hairpin turn too fast and took an overhanging poison oak bush right in the face! Never broke out from it, thankfully! Thanks for taking us along again!

Wow a peacock in the wild 😍

Wonderful!!! I just did this hike and posted it on KZfaq great video

I did this one earlier in the year. I saw the peacock too!

10:29 wow is that an old ruin there to the left? cool!

Crazy! That’s right by my house

Not post holes. Looks like pounding holes. Used to process nuts and seeds. Mostly acorns. Thanks for the adventures! 💥

Your lucky it had a lot of water, that hike is much nicer with decent flow like you had. I was not expecting this route, i do it in reverse of what you did and come down. Fun extension of this hike and tbh the upper portion is more enjoyable than the lower. I never see ppl above the falls, perhaps that's why but also the massive boulders above the falls and the creek are truly amazing. I mentioned it before but if you liked this trail then tanriverdi falls hike should be on your list.

Every man gets grumpy when he loses his way….. especially on the trail!!!

I’ve hiked this canyon several times and didn’t know you could got this far up like they did. I stopped at the falls even after climbing up into the waterfall section they did. I did do the climb up the mtn wall at Escondido Falls in Malibu. Looked easy until it didn’t in reality…LOL

What an awesome hike! You two aced it, albeit a few scrapes and poison oak. Do you guys have zip-off pant legs? They really help and are ideal for bushwhacking. Elise, I love your new songs. The VOICE needs you! Adam , I really admire your positive attitude, which I know Elise appreciates, too. Can't wait to see your next adventure. Stay safe!

The waterfall was so beautiful. That shot of Adam on top of the mountain was priceless. How do you stay so cheerful when you can't find a trail? What was the final score with the poison oak? I'll look forward to the next video--love you!

how deep was that cave bath tub? that must hav been a huge underground aquifer millenia ago...amazed how u discover these places.. all socal n undeveloped ,, very kool,,,,,,,,,,stay safe

You guys gotta hike in glacier national park!! Many glacier and do mt swiftcurrent

My wife and I get excited whenever there’s a new video from yall. I’m sure I speak for a lot of us.

If you do an Orange County hike again, do Holy Jim Canyon during the wet season because there should be water running through Trabuco creek.

Just started watching your channel not too long ago and am loving it! Also was that your original music? I really liked it.

Great job and what a nice view! I have a request too, I want to see you two doing the direct ascent route of Mt. Wilson, red rock canyon in Las Vegas. You'll scramble through white pinnacle, dead horse point, and to the wilson peak. Class 4 - 5 ascent. Hope you guys check it out! I think it's the best season to do it now. Must avoid summer.

You will deffinitely like montague creek, trial harbour, accessed from the granite slab just north of trial harbour .starts with a steep ascent that one is a fool to go back down .see my canyoning west coast of tassie video. I had to let out a cheeky laugh when adam said he didn't want to climb down the steep ascent...I kind of knew what was coming. Vertiginous Bushwhacking Heaven! I still can't stop giggling! When I go bush I never wear anything less than full length shirt and trousers...I'm no stranger to botany that pokes you back!. As annoying as difficult terrain is at the time, without fail I look back at it with a smile that errupts from deep within my soul. Ah and don't mention black rivulet near derby, bush whacking, waterfalls and gemstones, Yeeeeehaa, giggle giggle giggle, wish I was there with you getting 'lost' in a vertiginous jungle And I agree with you that grafiti does not belong out in nature Over the easter long weekend, I had the unexpected opportunity to rope down some granite cliffs at victor harbour bluff, awwwwesome

This must be a popular trail to have so much tagging 🙁Looks fun though. Neat little canyon. I think I would use the “trail” though instead so you know where it is. Those are not teepee holes though. They are more likely used for grinding grain or acorns.

OMGoodness, looks like P oak everywhere...update us if you guys got it or not ;)

Ah peacock! Come to central florida many neighborhoods have flocks of peacocks just roaming around, making more peacocks every year. They just strut right up to our front door 🦚

The only thing I dislike about this trail is all the damn Graffiti. .

So did you guys get poison oak? There’s no way I go anywhere near poison oak; I get it really bad. That was fun to watch, though!

Great job you guys did great on the loop of Doom. There is an actual trail to the top of the cliff/waterfall out to the main road. just hard to find. So did you guys get poison Oak?

Wow 🤩 Nice hike you guys! Watching this gave me an “Hawaiian feel” especially the waterfall and surroundings! How long was this hike and was this in California? I see that you were off the trail as there was a lot of bush whacking going on ☺️. Does this loop have its own marked trail or did you guys go purposely off trail in parts? It was amazing to watch always so adventurous 🤗!! Hope you both are having a wonderful weekend 😊!!

Onyx store, Sierra brewery up 395, you can loop it over Sherman Pass if open. Through Kennedy Meadows. Lol. Day trippers roll. Big time. You can drive 800 miles around Death Valley easy. Same Arizona Strip. Yellowstone/Beartooth/Teton. Endless summer......

You never disappoint. Thank you for taking me on another great adventure. Don’t you feel cold when you plunge into those pools? What is the temperature there at the moment. I noticed you get your shoes wet. Mine are less light than yours and just don’t get wet. How does it work when you continue walking? Any hot spots because of wet fabric?

Walker Pass to Owen's Peak way easier. You can run out a Mile the south side. Great desert views. You can go all the way to Kennedy Meadows. Take water. None. Zero. Dust. Kiavah Wilderness entry is off 395 past frog balls place, literally same entrance. But Owen's is way better and backside. Usually combine it with trip to 100 giants. Campgrounds are up by Sherman Pass Kern River side. Good weekender. You can drive out backwards come out at Ceasar Chávez Keene Cafe. Caliente Road?

I think you all should climb Mt. St. Helens. People say its easier in the winter due to traction from the snow (different hiking route in the winter that is 2 miles longer). I climbed it in the summer and was literally on top of the clouds at the top. Probably the hike I'm most proud of having done. You have to get a permit though I will say.

Awesome fest

Adam's snack spots make me dizzy 🥴!!

Nice jungle adventure! Jealousness! If you get stuck climbing with poles in hand. . . I colapse them and slide them above your waist belt between your back and the pack. Not ideal but good in a pinch. Did you guys get the red rock canyon beta I sent you? My trip there was incredible, unbelievable video with the local legend! but quite death defying. Let me know, cheers! Karl
