Phantom Falls Hike in the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve

Күн бұрын

Phantom Falls is an impressive 140-foot seasonal waterfall situated in the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve outside of the town of Oroville. It is one of those waterfalls I have wanted to visit for a long time and I was glad to finally get to see it after the 2019 rainy season. Check it out if you are in the area but make sure to bring a GPS track with you.

Beautiful I did not know this existed! My home town of Paradise (just north of there) burned down this year. I’m glad there is still green, and wildlife thriving in the surrounding areas.

So sorry to hear that Paradise was your home town. So sad about all of the fires in CA this year.

As an indigenous Native American from the Butte County foothills...I absolutely love 💕 this area in Spring Season. Table Mountain is known for the flora that grows in this specific area alone. I would encourage a trip to the Chinese Wall in the Lake just past one of the cemeteries. I The County has a great Chinese history in this specific county as well. 🙇🏻‍♀️🔍☝🏽❤️🇺🇸🙏🏽🕊

Bummed you didn't make it down to the bottom of the falls. There's actually a good route down the first small canyon just on the far side of the falls. There is a small old mine down underneath the overhang behind the falls.

For anyone wants to go now, the parking lot is much better and the trail is a lot easier to follow. But do NOT wear flip flops people! Just went to Phantom Falls with my fiancé yesterday because she has only lived in Oroville for a few years now. But I couldn't believe how many people wore dangerous shoes, and improper clothes! Like dressed and skirts! Thanks for sharing the video! Also, DO NOT USE Google Maps! It will lead you to the wrong place!

@jamesrea329 3 жыл бұрын

Another great video Josh. If you ever go back maybe you could take your drone. If it’s legal there I think drone shots of the waterfalls would be incredible, probably the wildflowers too. Thanks for taking me along to so many beautiful and interesting places I could never visit myself!

Wow that's a real canyon at the top of phantom falls. Looks like yosemite's half-dome. So many places are titled canyon but it's often just a hill. The meandering creek looks like it was freshly cut into the meadow with a knife. I'm so used to seeing boring "dry river beds" with no water in my area. Hey Josh, just a little suggestion. Maybe include some scenes from the town of Oroville with your crew doing breakfast or lunch. It would be cool to see the community, as I'm sure most of the viewers have never been there. Also, this would make your video's longer, which I don't really mind (unless it's going to add too much video production time). Keep on.
