great video, fun music!

I think you're right to take Old Bridle path up and Falling Waters down. One reason--you might get your feet wet near the Falling Waters trailhead. Better to get your feet wet when you're almost done with the loop, rather than get them wet right at the start of it.

Shoutout to that dad carrying his freaking kid all the way up there on his back, man. The kid probably won't even remember that!

That music😩 I'd rather hear heavy breathing and just ...nature sounds

Thank you albert & young lady Greatly appreciated😊

Awesome video.

Awsome

How long did it take you guys, ballpark?

My knees won't allow me to do this all in one day. I'm going to have to go up Bridal, stay at the hut overnight, throw smoores to the hiking god, go up to Lafayette in the AM, cross the traverse to Little Haystack, and slide my butt down Falling Waters......to a hearse waiting in the parking lot. Wish me luck!!!

At the 7:41 mark I had to kill the flute......too high pitched for my ears........ouch!

The falling waters trail is gorgeous with all the waterfalls.......however.......since the falls are so tall and BIG.....it sprays a mist over the trail in just the wrong places: boulders, rocks that make this trail very tricky to navigate going down. I did it going up and told myself to never do it going down no matter what time of year or weather conditions. Winter? Don't even THINK about it. yikes!!

great vid! you had a great day for it too, I did it yesterday, ascended the same way. Unbelievable experience, thanks for the vid

I'm doing this hike with my cousin in a week, but we're going to do the reverse and come down old bridal but we were thinking is this doable for a day hike and how long was it start to finish?

yes I was snorkeling the bridge and snorkel trail for the first time last weekend. I am in the process of getting my scuba gear back in order since the view is much more pleasant under than above water. thanks for the advice. maybe sometime we could get together and u could be my guide.

where exactly is this on the east side ?

what did you use to take your video?

Great share! Thank you! My wife and I are planning this hike this fall. We're sold on your choice of direction and the inherent benefits that you listed.

Is it OK to kill Lionfish in this park or not

Why the fuck did you not kill the lion fish...

DO NOT EAT THEM! I have to retract my statement about dining on lionfish, although it was the recommendation of NOAA. Since NOAA's campaign to make them into seafood, tests have shown, "... of nearly 200 lionfish ... more than a quarter exceed federal levels for a toxin that can cause ciguatera, a potentially dangerous fish food poisoning" that can cause diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue and neurological problems including painful tingling and reversed temperature sensitivity.

You are absolutely right, they are an invasive species that eat both native fish and crustaceans, harming both local ecosystems and fisheries. For anyone interested in what to do when they spot one, do a search for "reef.org lionfish program." I would have either captured it or killed it, but I did not have the means to do either. Authorities have suggested capturing and eating them, so if you see one, bon appetit!

Should have killed the Lionfish. That thing can really hurt the native fish there.

Awesome, have a great dive! This was a portion of our first dive at Blue Heron. We tried to hit a bunch of different spots around the east side and we stumbled upon this dock. It was pretty much our favorite part of the dive since there seemed to be such a large number and diversity of fish. Our next visit will be to do the west side for the first time. Thanks for the comment and happy diving! Oh, let us know how your dive goes!

i was gonna say, none of this looks familiar and i'm out there all the time especially under the east bridge. Nice video, i'll be checking it out monday!
