There were endless spots where they could have been hurt in this video, maybe not critically injured, but still injured. I thought it was a scary video to watch. Probably because I've faced these exact moves since I'm a lover of off trail and done a lot of bushwhacking. Nothing's harder than bushwhacking up a steep hill through shoulder high brush. And then throw in the insects! Its a nightmare and you feel like you're on the edge of being overwhelmed emotionally. Also, I thought this woman's moves in dicey situations showed intelligence in that she knew you can't just launch yourself and hope it works, you have to know you're controlling your hand and feet placement. She knows what she's doing and has a very high work capacity. I saw their video of a one day ascent of Mt. Shasta. Very impressive couple.

For a moment there I thought Elise was going to break down and eat one of Adam's pop-tarts! What an adventure! Has to be one of my favorites of your videos, especially with Elise's sense of humor throughout and seeing you guys experiencing so much joy at the end.

it was epic! So Adam, in the spirit of your poetic interlude, I call this sequel of sorts "Elegy written in a country church office." (be gentle - I only spent a few minutes on it!) The flying bugs that swarm’d like angry bees, have faded much the way of evening light. the task be accomplished, everyone sees; The sufferfest o’er, giving way to night. Oh waterfall! Unseen by human eye, Your glory and thunder impress the soul. your depths and rapids we could not deny, but beholding your beauty was our goal. thanks as always for taking us along!

Good job! All most everyone else would have given up. In the thousands of years that the area has been inhabited, I imagine only a few people have seen that waterfall.

Elise: “I'm pretty sure I just swallowed a bug.” Adam: “Well, this is just spectacular” lol Nice editing.

Wow 🤩 I think you guys enjoyed the waterfall more because it was so hard to get there ! You guys deserve that great waterfall!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Take care, be careful please. The world need you. ❤️🤗🙏

Adam under this specific waterfall is an all time moment for this channel. 😄

Love that you guys continue to find new adventures! I've had a rough week and the bushwhacking and bugfest made me laugh out loud. Glad you made it to the waterfalls at the end to make it worth the effort!!

Mmmmmm, protein. Dinner with a view. That was quite the hike. Hope the way back was a little easier. Loved the video.

wow!!!! what an epic hike!!! you two are absolutely relentless adventurers! thx for doing the bushwacking for me so i don't have to. btw, i started wearing my gators a couple of weeks ago. but those stickies still find a way thru. also, been seeing lots of snakes lately too. long cold winter and they're out now and hungry. can't wear earbuds or you won't hear them. watch out!

You both never fail to amaze me with the dedication to get to the great spots! Good on you guys!

Not a bushwhacking fan, but loved the waterfall! Thanks for the adventure and be safe!!🏜🏜

That was so entertaining! [says the guy reclining on the couch]. Amazing effort.

😂lol that was so much fun to watch, what a struggle to get to the end!!!! Omg!! I would’ve called for a helicopter for the return trip!! 🤪 What a fun episode…i am forwarding to everyone 🤣

This looked like such a beautiful, bright, colourful adventure and I loved it. Also props for paving your own way! I've done it before and it's super hard work! had a lovely cold water, waterfall swim last week on a rainy day but it was incredible

love it. only you can get there!

You guys definitely “live hard”, thanks for bringing us along!!

Absolutely loved this one! Thank you for putting out such fun, amazing thrilling content!

I watched this all the way through, and I must say you both did a great job of advancing through some terrain that seemed worthy of your skills, experience, perseverance, and more! Very Remote!

We love you guys and your amazing adventures !! 🏆🏆🌻🌻

The things i worry about when bush wacking are Rattlesnakes, bee swarms and poison oak. You guys are hard core.

The waterfalls were a big reward!!! Amazing video, as always!

I have done nothing that compares to that hike, but I do have a waterfall story. There is a place near where I live called "Fall Creek Falls" State Park. A couple of buddies and myself were contracted to do a video for the parks, this is decades back (and yeah, it's on YT). It was a fantastic adventure, and at the time (can't speak for now), the falls was runnning very similar to the one you showed. The trail was easy, nothing to tell there, but the falls had carved out a plunge pool at the bottom, and a few were swimming in it. Fun, but no big deal. I thought, what would it be like to go inside the falls, and I did just that. It was like stepping inside a hurricane, then just as easily you could step out, then back in. The hardest part was the trip out, still NO comparison to your trail since it was well manicured, but the grade was VERY steep, so I was breathing hard at the end. Enjoyed the video, WOW, what a climb. Tim

Thanks for sharing w/ us! Getting out must have been a trial. Beautifully filmed! Thank you!

Luv you guys!!!! Awesome water fall!

I remember the super blooms in hills of Palos Verdes as a 1960s kid. We used to scrounge up some plywood and sheet metal and build toboggans. Once you pack down a run, it is much faster than snow. Showing my age..... be nice 😉 Another great adventure.

Another epic adventure!!!!!, can’t wait to see what’s next!!!!!!

You have to admit EPIC falls. That has to blow your minds when you arrived there. Poetry, sunshine, and always take the ridge. The swarming bug hair is classic! Rainbow Falls in July August seriously are the gold standard for swim. Mount Ritter/Devils Postpile/San J river, Take a life jacket if you want to be comfortable and float near falls. Definitely for kids. I wasn't kidding on Sherman pass from westside/100 giants sides. The river down the steep gorge at cascades is perfect in low flow. Kern River Kernville area. GREAT VIDEO! AS USUAL. BRUSH=GAITERS AND OR Z German fancy pants. You know the ones. Generally I avoid brush, which is why I stay out of the Wasatch range foothills. This really reminds me of Okinawa climbing up in the creeks, way hotter so being in the water wasn't an issue, warm not cold.

I love bushwhacking. Right up my alley. Watched all your videos. You guys are always the best out there!!!!

That was some bushwacking...reward at the end...thx for taking us along...now the return hike...

Great adventure, That water fall I think was worth it. The bugs looked terrible.

amazing... pretty good..👍🏻❤️🙏🏻

All I can say is, wow, crazy hike, but what a reward, well worth it, and what great memories ❤

Great 👌 to see you two again 👏

simply beautiful.. you guyz rock.

Great adventure guys. Love your channel.

OMG, at so many moments I thought I was watching an outdoors-action movie! A bit scary! O.O But also hilarious -- love you guys!

Again nice video guys❤😊

Love the narration! Another really great effort, appreciate your editing skills big time ✔️✔️

A rough acent for you too it's fun 😊 I like poles for hiking.

putting this one on my "not to do" list lol. cool vid

That looks so fun!

Awesome video and falls !

No pain no gain! What a gorgeous waterfall. Nice payoff for a treacherous hike in.

Which beautiful waterfull and washing your laughs this is formidable thanks 1000 time

You guys are so fricken awesome!!!!!!! I love that you did this. I bush wack all the time and it is very hard work. That's a REAL waterfall!! It would've been awesome if you could've climbed up and seen what was in that reservoir and maybe there would've been an elevated pool! I know you guys were super tired though. Man if you had to back the same way you came then that was ultra craziness! Super secluded spot! You guys should keep going back and setting a better trail so maybe you can go back if you want and make that place your special place. That waterfall is how waterfalls are where I live except the water is tinted and is rum or tea colored from all the plant material and the rocks are black or brown or reddish with crazy moss and plants and trees growing all around them. Right now because of the snow melt the waterfalls are crazy and there are little waterfalls everywhere from small seasonal creeks.

Another great clip❤ what a Bonnie flower meadow you guys don't half get the good weather in calafornia our spring flowers usually come out in March they didn't come out too the end of April and it's still cold for the time of year I wish you both well 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Fantastic as always !!! 🙂🙂

Seeing you both hiking through the long grass stresses me out. Out in Maine there would be so many ticks.

Awesome superbloom, but the bugs... it's look tough to go through 😅

What a bushwacking ride and climbing these steep and slippery rock all the way must have been some hard hike Elise... But the Waterfall was worthing all the drive... Amazing.. You are so incredible.. 😉😘👌🥂

That was incredible! And then you had to hike back. Yikes!

I love it when your attitude is being challenged. it makes it all the more wonderful. LORD GOD Almighty knows. Matthew 22: 14. For many are called, but few are chosen. (King James Version.)

AMAZING!!!!!!

Glorious California glorious. Golden State it is.drought is over yes .👍 California is shining 🌟 bright.

This was awesome :) I did a bushwhack earlier in the year out to Mildred Falls, highest falls in San Diego County, which only runs in the spring. It was similar steep terrain, all day pushing through plants, wading through streams, climbing over log piles and intense fatigue. I'm not sure where you guys did this one, but it looks epic!

I've tried several off trail adventures. The vast majority of which ending in a turn-around. But yeah, when you get to that place, and that place exceeds expectations... there is NOTHING better.

"Subscribing brings you joy", watching you guys brings me joy! 🙂

Wow, battle hardened! Cool shots! Minus the bugs that my kind of adventure. . Having a quick way to strap on your plies for climbing can be very helpful. . . doing similar in uncharted desert venues. Cheers

My favorite. Other than Venice one. Both tell the story in all its glory.

Wow you guys are crazy and dedicated and definitely obsessed. For hiking up creeks and waterfalls, investing in some neoprene shorts will help protect you from scratches and bruises. Neoprene pants, even better as my shins take a beating on hikes like this. True they are much bulkier to carry, but worth it in my opinion

that was bushwackin at its best... tough one awesome falls

All that bushwhacking induces my anxiety, because I live in an area where you'd get absolutely destroyed by ticks, poison ivy, and poison oak, and spider webs.

The hills are alive with the sound of insects 🐜 and Elise hacking, spitting and coughing! Not to attractive there Jelly Bean! 🤣 That bloom was so tall you needed signs above you saying Elise her and Adam here! 😂 That was so tuff getting there I think I would rappel by helicopter than walk in, Bear Grylls style! 😁 Again your JOY even during challenging conditions makes my JOY even greater! Thanks so much for sharing and suffering for us. You know how much I love you guys!!! ❤️ PS Hey! Adam rappelling in by helicopter! Think on it for one of your adventures. 👍🏻

It's so funny, because of all the insane hard core hikes and climbs you guys have done on high mountains and deserts, this one seemed to be as challenging as the best of them. Unless you have bushwhacked off trail, you can't appreciate this kind of adventure and how hard it can be. I have done it a couple of times, and I can attest that it is insanely hard! My buddy and I were scratched bloody by thorns and brambles, which from a distance, looked so soft and plushy. But up close, they became vicious, cruel brambles determined to eat us alive. It takes hours just to push through just a few miles. Not for the faint of heart! At least you were rewarded by a waterfall!

Elise, I see that Rambo💪 has pushed you to your limits again! Whatever you guys have for breakfast we want some! Steroid cheerios? And you rock scrambling in a bikini! That qualifies for a Guiness world record. We admire you guys for your extreme perseverance to push on thru nasty obstacles, having bugs for snacks, and conditions that only wild animals would dare to endure. Only Lewis & Clark would have been so brave! The reward at no trails end was awesome, but we can't imagine how exhausted you two must have been at the end of the day! Talk about a good night sleep after that. We are so glad that the water is the only thing that took a fall!😮 Catherine & Ron🤟🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

I get a free dopamine hit just watching you two❤

you both absultley kick ass! love ya both. not looking forward to the bugs this year in utah! so much water and I'm wondering if some of the peaks will even be accesable by augast lol.

Congratulation for making it back safely. I can't believe what you both put yourself through. Gorgeous waterfall. Like some of your other commenters, I was concerned for both of your safety. Elise, I don't know how you didn't get sliced up with all the brush and poking branches you had to climb and crawl through. I'm a slipper, tripper and rock tipper so I would never put myself through half of what you both did. Please stay safe, your audience isn't worth an injury or worse. 💞

Nice!

Return of "The Shorts"

Man you guys are dedicated to finding epic waterfalls! That was such an adventure, but I wouldn’t have enjoyed that trek to get there 😅😅 you seeing any snakes? Marco just saw a HUGE snake on a hike in Portugal 🙈 Loved this video! Lots of love to you crazy kids! 💓

Hi guys! Your brush walk in Californian mountains reminds me Ural Mountains in Russia. It’s so difficult to walk through almost 2 meter high grass.

Pretty ballsy bushwacking with rattler weather in full effect!

ELISE and ADAM a good morning from France. During the crossing of the fields of gigantic flowers, the insects preferred to attack ELISE and not you ADAM, the poor ELISE was surrounded on all sides. The canyon was very difficult to master, and after six hours of physical effort this beautiful waterfall finally revealed all its splendor, and you made us live this new adventure, always with videos of great quality. ADAM you did not hesitate to slip under this waterfall, it's impressive. Kisses to both of you… DAN ELISE et ADAM un bonjour de France. Pendant la traversé des champs de fleurs gigantesques, les insectes ont préféré s’attaquer à ELISE et non à toi ADAM, la pauvre ELISE était entourée de toute part. Le canyon a été très difficile à maitriser, et après six heures d’efforts physique cette belle cascade a enfin révélé toute sa splendeur, et vous nous avez fait vivre cette nouvelle aventure, toujours avec des vidéos de grandes qualités. ADAM tu n’as pas hésité à te glisser sous cette cascade, c’est impressionnant. Bises à vous deux… DAN

Great hike and it looks totally worth it, what a beautiful waterfall ! The hike back had to be hard both mentally and physically, I just did Currant mountain , you may enjoy it when you get up here, thank again, Larry Owens

Замечательный 🚿 Шарко ✅👍

Hi 👋 had a great time in Fort Worth last weekend, did a water 💧 fall hike

Geez Elise and here I thought you were a toughie. Nothing like a bit of cross country bush bashing to sort out the men from the boys haha Good to see you guys again now that I'm back from my disastrous trip to Nepal

Looks like uphill rafting :)

Anything worth a damn in life takes A LOT of effort to achieve. Both of you are going to be 100+ y/o on your deathbeds and you'll vividly remember this waterfall because it took a lot to get to.

The ticks the ticks the ticks your insane!

Hmm only a few clues as to where this was . Felt like the San Gabes, must be sub-5k elevation, I get the feeling it’s somewhere in the area of Big Tijunga Canyon? Probably a seasonal falls, you guys were there at the perfect time! Congrats on that find

*_Looks like you guys are an adventurous couple who specifically explore waterfalls_*

Poles in these situations are a blessing and a curse. Brush so dense they hinder your progress, I feel ya, Salamander cyn is another good example (past falls #2). This is my kinda hike:) thanks for sharing. I may have to hit you up on the location of this one.

I have done some crazy off trail hikes but not even close to this. You guys are the champions at bushwhacking, amazing! For all that hard work and your excellent video you got yourself a new sub. What canyon is this waterfall located without giving the exact location. Keep up the hard work.

Super effort and reward. Would love for you to post the coordinates of the falls to obtain where you were.

Some shoe company needs to make a live hard love hard shoe. A shoe that’s quick drying, with built in gaiters. Soles with approach shoe stickiness for the slick rock and retractable cleats for the loose stuff 😂

I’ve wanted to check out the super blooms near me. But I think I need to pass. The bees would kill me. My Epipen would t have a chance. Beautiful waterfall. Great job.

That was freakin’ incredible! Do you guys know about the royal gorge / royal pool in the Angeles National Forest? Off-trail, hours past Switzer Falls, and has all the crazy creek bed / boulder-hopping stuff you’d love.

The things "we" do for waterfalls 😄

Waxing poetic and rockin' the orange shorts, Adam. So glad you got the waterfall payoff, Elise; you did not look happy for much of the hike. Btw, what would happen if your phone got wet? You would be screwed, right? Love you!

Hi guys! Just now seeing this one! All those flowers, how pretty was that! And there is nothing worse than swallowing a bug or one in your nose! 🤣 Do you ever worry about snakes? Or maybe they're not in that area?

Hi there guys---that was a memorable journey! thank you for sharing. Elise & Adam, what kind of shoe did you use for the entire trip? It looked like your shoes were capable for all the terrains that day, in and out of water, rock and Superblooms!

The payoff was great but what a challenge to reach it. Not surprised that no else was there. Beautiful fall, however.

Thanks!

Hey you guys… enjoy your videos! This one, off trail, during tick season… 😕 My daughter became very ill from a tick bite w Lyme disease. Several years ago I did a great deal of research to find a safe deterrent. Rose Geranium oil. And specifically the company Eden’s Garden was tried and successful. Use straight from bottle, a little dot/dab on ankles, wrists, maybe neck & upper leg.

Sooo Awesome!! great payoff too at the end. So...what was the time back. It's usually faster but in this case I'm not so sure lol

the hike was tough but so worth it 🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎❤❤

I got off trail (not on purpose) in Arizona this winter, also up a steep hill. No fun at all. You slow to a snail’s pace, and you’re fighting brush every step. I feel for you.
