ROCK POOLS of the San Gabriel River | HOW to Get to the Hidden Rock Pools at the East Fork

Күн бұрын

Welcome adventurers,
Join us on an exciting adventure down the East Fork of San Gabriel River, starting at the Bridge to Nowhere parking lot. Aqua Blue Rock Pools await you!!! This is a LA paradise hidden in a beautiful canyon of the Sheep Mountain wilderness.
In this video, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to navigate the lesser-known path to these stunning rock pools. Starting from the parking area, we’ll head in the opposite direction of the usual trail, revealing secret spots to enjoy. This secluded route offers access to less know rock pools. This route has tranquility and discovery.
People put rocks across the river to make the pools, some are as deep as 4 feet. These are man made, yet the rocks are everywhere in the river keeping the water super clear.
Directions & Navigation:
Bridge to Nowhere Link with Directions to Parking Lot: Follow Video Navigation!

Adventure Pass Required for parking area: Get yours here.

• Begin at the East Fork Trailhead parking lot at the Bridge to Nowhere.
• Instead of following the main trail, take the path leading to the right when your back is to the restrooms. See video for visual directions
• Follow the San Gabriel River downstream and look for small paths along each side of the East Fork when possible, to give your feet a rest.
• Continue down the river until you find the rock pools of your liking, then relax and settle in. It’s a chill vibe in the summer heat, escape to this chill out retreat from the hustle of city life.

Preparedness Tips:
• Footwear: Wear sturdy hiking shoes with good grip.
• Hydration: Bring plenty of water and stay hydrated.
• Snacks: Pack energy-boosting snacks to keep you fueled.
• No need for map or navigation here, just follow the East Fork of the San Gabriel River downstream, and follow back the route you came.
Keep It Clean & Pristine:
• Leave No Trace: Pack out all trash and belongings.
• Respect Wildlife: Observe animals from a distance and do not disturb their habitat.
Hiking Tips & Fun Ideas:
* Begin your hike early to avoid the heat and enjoy a peaceful morning and grab your favorite swim hole.
* Make the hike fun, we brought blow up floating toys and snorkel and masks to see underwater.
* Get ready for an unforgettable journey downstream in the East Fork of the San Gabriel River.

There are so many places like this to enjoy in NorCal. If you ever come up this way you should check out the North fork American River. If you think the east fork is a clear running river then the North fork American River will blow your mind.

We were mostly in the river the whole time and it is moving even in the rock pools so no mosquitos there. Sometimes along the shoreline where water and mud are sitting still the mosquitos can be hanging out there. we can't guarantee there won't be any in certain areas. Also when you are in nature there are always going to be bugs! Spiders , ants , ticks,etc. you can bring bug spray to keep them away . Hope you get there and explore 😀😀

Hi guys I’ve been loving your videos! We’re planning a trip to the US next year and undecided whether to go in April/May or September/October. Two things we want to do is explore the canyons and waterfalls you guys show in your videos and also catch an NBA game or two. What would you say the general water flow/level of the waterfalls and swimming holes is like around September/october? Would most places be running dry? And is April/May warm enough to swim around California? Keep the videos coming, by far my favourite showcasing the swimming spots 👍🏼

@hikebytes 19 күн бұрын

Wow thank you ! 😀😀 Well April and May sometimes can have some rain or gloom but more green hillsides and wildflower beauty . Water is colder.and more abundant . We did have a very rainy season hence the large amounts of water flow. Sept and Oct. are warm typically so water will be warmer but less in some areas . Punch Bowls and The Rock pools at Bridge to Nowhere East fork of the San Gabriel river should be flowing pretty good! Both have deep water sources.

So it would be safe to say that September/October would be warmer and better temperatures for swimming, whereas April/May would be better for overall flowing water around California and Arizona? Would April and May still be warm enough to swim at some of the places you have on your channel? Sorry again for the many questions 😂

@hikebytes 14 күн бұрын

You could absolutely swim in Springtime but sometimes water flow could be too heavy to swim and would be more of a cold plunge . It's warmer water and calmer in Sept Oct. some smaller water falls may dry up or be a trickle . What swimholes did you want to visit?

@jimmychampion69 8 күн бұрын

@@hikebytes okay so maybe sept/october will be better to be able to actually enjoy the swimming, especially seeing as a few places you guys have shown have all round water sources. so far our list has a heap of places from your channel, the Canyon Narrows, Stoddard Canyon falls, Punch Bowls, Seven falls, palm springs oasis hikes, green valley, Santa Ynez and Kern River etc. as well as hopefully a few in Arizona, Wet Beaver Creek, Indian Maiden falls, and around Sedona region.

It weaves a little more through the mountains, but it’s very beautiful. That was a bummer,road was closed.. Sorry to hear that. We like to use the Waze app navigation to make sure the route is open. We got to the Punch Bowls in Santa Paula with this app when one of the roads there was closed. It’s a very helpful app.For giving alternate routes. There was a wild fire up at Mt Baldy last week that may have been why it was closed.

Thanks for watching! Check with the San Gabriel forestry to find out where exactly the campsites are located. Make sure you have an Adventure Pass to park here . $30 for the year or $5.00 for the day. We have a link in the description as to where you can purchase these. Big 5 also sells them 😀😀

Does this place always have water?

@hikebytes 23 күн бұрын

Yes 🙌 it’s fed by a very large spring, we have a new vid coming out today at 11:30 am it is called “Rock Pools trash talk” we cover the issue of litter in some spots and show many more local spots less known about. We give visual directions and land marks for un named spots. Hope you get out there while it’s hot. Water is cold, so refreshing 😀

I wanna go visit but I’m sure a lot of people are gonna go now

@hikebytes 25 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching 🙌 Weekends are crowed at any spot, we like week days only and start early. We have another rock pool video coming out Sunday at 11:30 am because we went again, both times were mellow crowds and had many private areas. This new vid covers the trash issue in popular areas, but shows people how to avoid crowds, to find less known spots. People watch, but not everyone goes. The river has miles of rock pools to explore, just pick a spot along the East Fork road and hike down (1/10 mile or less) and see if you like the spot, it’s that simple to find a less crowded area.

Where we filmed was a different location it was shot closer to Bridge to Nowhere trailhead, see our complete video for exact location we give detailed info visually. Actually that location did not have as much of a trash issue. The trash is more at Cattle Canyon trail head and the Oaks picinic area We are going to make an environmentally conscience video this week. Drawing attention to trash and everyone’s responsibility 😀👍🏻

Watch our other Rock pool video we show other areas to go to . Even up stream toward Bridge to Nowhere there are tons of areas to explore in that beautiful clear water. 😀😀

Just want to remind everyone that while it's nice to swim, most of these big rock pools are man-made by people that visit. They are unfortunately bad for the habitat of animals that live in in the streams, and we really should not be building more.
