- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- 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:

Looks amazing! Beautiful water and lots of fun swimming holes! 😍🙌🏼
It is !! There are so many you wouldn't believe it!🙌🏻❤️😀😀
Wow, an open parking spo near the trail headt! Love the pools here. I went a few times last year. I was really nice during the heat waves.
We came early!!!
It was already hot, but those swim holes kept us so cool the whole time!!! We loved it here ! Such a great place to just relax😀😀
Used to go there in 70s and hike up Bear Canyon for an overnight. Some great pools up there as well.
Awesome ! Thanks for sharing! 😀😀
Got to see this.
Fantastic, my friends 🙂
Thank you ! 😀😀
Great video ! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you😀😀❤️❤️
awesome!!
Thank you for watching!
That looks so refreshing, definitely a perfect place to chill during the hot summer. I wish I could of joined you guys, thanks for sharing!
It was absolutely amazing😀😀
Thank you so much for watching!!!
As usual, beautiful 😻
Thank you Lopez, we appreciate you watching ❤️
@@hikebytes my pleasure, I love your style guys ❤️🥾🥾
Thank you we have a lot of fun making the videos😀😀
Awesome
Thanks for watching 😀🙌
Yes Sept. Oct . Are typically warmer and still great for swimming. Not sure about Az. Weather at that time. This has been a great year with the water flow because of all the rain we had this winter. April and May can have some gloom and sometimes a little rain. Water is colder then . 😀😀
Hope this helps
Thank you kindly, I never new of these places even after having been born in Socal and have lived here my entire life.
Right? We lived here our wholes lives too and never knew these existed either!!! We are so excited to be able to share these beautiful places !!😀😀❤️❤️
@@hikebytes May the good Lord bless you for sharing some of his hidden gems.
Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊
Hope you get to go explore this area!
I just subbed. Question...Was this literally 9 days ago? WOW! Thanks, I hope your CZcams channel is PRO$PEROU$!
Welcome and thank you so much for watching !😀😀
We went on July 3 and posted the vid on that Sunday. We really appreciate your kind words ❤️❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice video, in drought conditions the area is not as Vibrant as in (Wet Years). The last 2 years seen a big difference.
Thank you for watching! Yes these past couple years we have seen amazing amounts of water in places that had been driy or very little water .
I used to go there back in the early 1990s but now I live in Northern California. Glad to see this place is still so beautiful besides the graffiti. 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.
Wow thanks for the tip! We will put that on our bucket list for sure ! 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻Thank you for watching!!
@@hikebytes You're very welcome! Hope you guys make it up here to check out the beauty!
@@mountainman4987 I'm sure we will !
Thank you for that tid bit as well! I'll have to map that spot out while I can still do it. I'm closest to Whitewater and Oak Creek Canyon, but haven't seen big bright pools like this around here. Kern river goes up quite a ways too. Sooo much to get out and see. California really does encompasses parts of every state in the U.S.
Very beautiful place. Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. subbd & 👍
Welcome!! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed our vid!! Thank you !!😀😀
Thanks to your videos I was able to discover this river! I was born and raised in LA and I had no idea this existed. I’m now 50 and I am definitely going go enjoy it! Thank you!
We are so happy to hear you are going to go enjoy it! There are so many pools to see. Go early to get some of the pools to yourself
😀😀
I never been here before but I'm familiar with the area, seen this place on channel 4 news the other morning. What a damn shame to see that people go party here and leave their trash there. It's a damn shame because I seen it was a lot of Modelo boxes thrown. Come on jente. Keep the area clean, live clean, don't be slobbs. Have some respect for yourself and others. Por fast , 👍💪
We are making a video about the trash problem here and picked up trash to help. The video will be out Sunday@11:30 am thanks for watching!👍👍
جميل جدا 😮😮😮😅
Thank you for watching !
❤️❤️
I'm going to do this this Saturday. I'll tell yall how it went.🙏😎✨️
Unfortunately it’s been temporarily closed due to the Fork fire started in Camp Williams, Check All Trails before you go, sorry to have to inform you.
@hikebytes oh no. Thank you for letting me know. I live in North Hollywood so it would of been a drive.
when you say shortcut where you went down that small hill, is there a longer easier trail for elderly people? thanks brotha! nice spot.
Thanks for watching!
You will have to walk down the hill but you can avoid the steep shortcut and continue on the main path till you get to the river. You will be able to see and hear it!😀😀
Whoa 😯 what a great place, I never know of this , thanks for sharing your finding and this cool video you made, I found your channel this Friday and I love it, thanks guys ✌, hope your channel keeps growing. by the way whats the deepest those ponds go?
We are happy to hear you are enjoying our channel! Welcome 😀😀this place is beautiful but there is trash in some areas . We did a video on that . These rock pools are so much fun to enjoy! The deepest we saw was about 4 ft deep . There was a fire there recently so not sure if it is still closed or not . All trails says it is. Hopefully they will reopen it soon! Thank you for watching !
@@hikebytes Thanks for the info very nice of ya ✌
See any fish?...great location to enjoy the day .
Yes there were but not that big! It is such an incredible place ! Hope you can make it out there! 😀😀
@@hikebytes I want to take my young daughters there for the day...
We saw lots of kids playing but as always be careful with the young ones ..it is a river and there can be some heavier currents in some areas. Lots of rocks on the bottom so we wear our lightweight trail runners or water shoes to protect our toes and feet. The rocks are really hard on the feet ..Ouch!!
@@hikebytes appreciate the heads up with the river shoes .yes....all good points and appreciate you going there to show us all the nice outing..
Our pleasure ! Hope you enjoy as much as we did!
I remember going to this river the water was SUPER COLD but it was a hot day it was refreshing but hard to get used too lmao the water is amazing and clear but i rather go to the azusa lake (Santa fe dam)
Yes it can be cold !! Some areas are definitely colder than others . The further downstream we went the warmer it got. Especially where the sun was shining! Cold is good for those endorphins that can last for hours 😀😀
@@hikebytes haha yes I’m not one of them that can last in the cold for hours but minutes instead
I was there just yesterday ❤ I jumped from that rock! It was a blast!
I entered through the bridge to nowhere and went against the current to get there. You entered the opposite way right?
Awesome ! we went down stream from the Bridge to Nowhere parking lot and hiked in the river to get to those locations . Love hearing you had a blast! 😀😀🙌🏻🙌🏻
we would go a lot in the 80's my aunts would find snakes while swimming.
Oh wow what kind of snakes? Thank goodness we didn't see any!!!😉😉
Love your channel guys, thanks for all the great videos. Do you happen to remember what day of the week you filmed this? Just trying to find the least crowded time to go. And do you think there’s this much water still flowing? And lastly… do you ever check out any spots near Kern river? Check out a book titled Swimming Holes of California by Timothy H. Joyce if you haven’t already! Thanks guys!
We are so glad you are enjoying our channel !! 😀😀We went out there on a Wed. Around 7:30am and yes the water will still be flowing .
We have gone to the Kern river but we went after the fires and the river was pretty muddy unfortunately . We could tell it would be amazing if it was clear!
It was 110 degrees when we went 😳😳
Thank you so much for the suggestion we will check it out sounds like a great book ! We love rock pools ❤️❤️
Thanks for this awesome video! Were there bugs or mosquitos when you went?
Thank you we are so happy you enjoyed our vid!! 💕💕 We only noticed some flies and spiders on the trail a little . 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 😀😀
@@hikebytes Amazing, thank you for all the details! May I also ask what time you arrived? Planning how painfully early I may have to drive up from OC on a weekday. =)
we arrived at about 8:30 am during the week 😀😀👍👍
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 👍🏼
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.
Thank you so much for watching! 😀😀you can always reach out with any questions !!
@@hikebytes thanks for the reply!
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 😂
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?
@@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.
I’m going this weekend. Will it look the same
Hi !
We went during the week last week so it was not crowded at all. There are all kinds of pools for miles .We recommend arriving early before the crowds come on the weekend just a heads up . Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. We recommend wearing water shoes to protect your feet as you can stub your toes on the rocks easily it hurts😆😆
Well rip this is like the 10th youtuber to cover this.
Thanks for watching, there is many miles of rock pools along the East fork of the San Gabriel River, we found more this week. Try weekdays and early, weekends we don’t hike. Hope that helps 😀🙌😀
Is the water clean and safe to get in? Especially for children? Does anybody test it?
Thanks for watching 🙌 We did not drink it, but swam in it for hours, please check with the San Gabriel water district for exact details.
Man, I definitely went to the wrong rock pool there because the one I went to had trash everywhere and smelled.
You may have gone to the Oakes picnic area?
Are you not able to go there on Sundays? We tried last week and the highway 39 was closed
Thanks for watching
We went again last week to talk about some trash issues at some of the local popular spots there. (Video comes out today at 11:30 am, we show new spots to visit some are more crowded ) This time we took the Glendora Mountain Road to East Fork. It’s another route there. 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.
Towards the end of the video where you met the family camping out, We're exactly is that location?
Thanks for watching ❤️ we went downstream from Bridge to Nowhere trailhead and ran into them in less than a mile hiking through the river .We do not know what part of the road they came down although you could park at the top of the road and hike down to the river. There are so many cool spots and pathways down. 😀😀
Is this in a week day?? Or where is everyone I heard a lot of people go there on weekends. Is that true? Beautiful place
Hi !! Welcome !
Yes it was on a Wednesday avoid the Oakes picnic area it is very crowded. On our channel we have a video called “rock pools trash talk,”and we show more secluded areas there with landmarks. Avoid weekends at that river. 👍🏻😀😀
Awesome thank you so much 👍
Hi there, thank you so much for posting your videos. My wife and kids want to go here to the rock pools. Question, is the hike to the river kid friendly? I have a 7 and 10 yr old. I'm assuming from your video the hike down to the river isn't too far. Looks like about 10-15 minutes. I was just wondering if it's a steep hike to get there? Thank you. Hope to hear from you soon
Welcome and thank you for watching❤❤️! Not sure of your family's skill set ..Where we went down it was a little steeper but manageable . To the left you can go down easier . Also there are all kinds of pathways going down to the river from the top of the road. We have another video it's our latest one on our channel . We show other locations as well easy to get down to ..We show which is the most crowded and least crowded areas. Hope this helps and you and your family have an adventure together! Also be sure to get an Adventure Pass to park here. You will get a ticket . We have a link in description on where you can get these. They are $30 for the year or $5 for the day. They are also available at Big 5 .
Hikebytegirl is Heidi from hikebytes, she forgot to answer through hikebytes.
Hope that helps 😀
@@hikebytegirl Thank you so much. I just called the big 5 by my house and they sell the passes. Can't wait to go!!!
@@hikebytes Yes sir, that's what I thought. I saw both of your last vids of the San Gab river and it gives us a better idea of where to go to avoid the large crowds. We might skip the Oaks picnic area and head to camp Williams. Any other areas you recommend where there aren't too many people? Thank you for replying.
This is my Back Yard for 58 years. Not usually a SAFE place anymore...it's gotten WORSE over the Decades. ( Party people, TWEAKERS ( which are in back country beyond "Bridge to Nowhere" ) Lots of TRASH and sloppy people. Trash cans are there but the ground is easier? On Weekends you'll see 98% car/Trucks PARKED in NO PARKING but the SIgn doesn't stop them. Weekdays & More in Off Season is BEST!!! Trust Me!
We like to bring home more trash than we bring in, if everybody did the same it would get better 🙌😀 animals also get into the trash and spread it around. It’s a bummer but fixable. We need more trash cans with animal proof tops. Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
@@hikebytes I go Prospecting up there just to kill time untill I go where the GOLDS really at… up North where it’s crazy beautiful, Clean & don’t have to worry about my Truck getting broken into like it’s known in AZUSA CANYON. It just attacks a certain Breed of people & you know what I’m saying. Have Fun & be SAFE !!!
We would love to go up North and explore more beautiful places!
Maybe one day find gold🤩🤩
What time and day of the week did you go? It looks pretty empty, I've tried finding those nice rock pools but it's always very packed
Hi there! We went on Wed . At 8:30 am
We also did a video on other locations as well . If you go to our channel page our newest one is called "Talking Trash"which we are dealing with a serious trash issue here on the beautiful river, but we also show other locations as well . One of them The Oakes picinic area is the worst with the trash! We don't suggest that place even though it is very pretty. Hope you make it out there and have some fun😀😀
@@hikebytes Thank you for your reply! 🙂 ok I'll check them out.
Thank you for this great video! I am planning to go there this Sunday with my elderly parents. Do you know if the site where people were camping in your video is accessible from East Fork road? My mom cannot walk too long…
Yes you can get there from the road, we are not sure where . They pointed up the hill from where they were. So I guess they parked and walked down a path as there are several. Please be careful with brining elderly some of the paths coming down looked steep and rocky although we have seen some older people there. It just depends on their own abilities. They may have found an easier path.You may wish to scope out the area first before brining them . 😀😀👍👍have fun ! Hint : week days are the best time to go and early!
I lost my wedding ring there in the 70s about a mile upstream. My finger shrunk & my golden rose with a diamond inset fell among the rocks in the riverbed. I looked all day & never found it.
Oh no !!we are sorry to hear that! It sounds like a beautiful ring !I had a silver rose ring (not a wedding ring) with a garnet stone in the center and one day it was gone ! I have no idea how I lost it ! It's such a bummer loosing something sentimental especially your wedding ring!
Is the water Cold??
Yes but feels amazing when you get in from the hot weather!
It was refreshing ! There are warmer spots throughout the river and colder spots . 😀😀
por dónde es eso yo quiero ir 😊
San Gabriel river at the Bridge to Nowhere parking lot in the San Gabriel mts . it runs all the way along the East Fork rd. There are several rock pools for miles downstream . Link is in the description.
Thank you for watching😀😀
Hello can you give me the address how to get to this place please, I live in the city of Lakewood california thank you😊
Thank you for watching ! There is a link in the description from all trails . You can plug in your address and it will give you directions 😀😀also an adventure pass is needed to park here it is $5.00 for the day and $30 for the year . We also have a link as to where you can get those. Big Five sells them as well. Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions. We are here for you😀😀
@@hikebytes thank you
Went there today. Bad luck for us and others. Our car and others was broken into. So be careful not to leave anything in your car. Especially your car keys with other keys.
Ooh no, so sorry to hear this! So Bridge to nowhere trail is back open after the fire ? Hope you had a good time there 🙌😀😀
I saw campers with their small dog but are dogs allowed ?
This is a copy past from Google: it was the question you asked:
“Can you bring dogs to Bridge to Nowhere?
Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. The rocky trail along the East Fork of the San Gabriel River to the Bridge to Nowhere is not only one of the best trails in the San Gabriel Mountains, but it's also one of the most unique hiking experiences you'll ever have.”
Do you have to hike to get to the campsite?
Yes we hiked through the river downstream . There are so many areas to enjoy!😀😀
@@hikebytes oh ok. I was hopinng u can camp out near the water
Check with the Angeles forest Forestry website
To find out where exactly you can camp. There was a fire here recently and we believe it is still closed unfortunately. 😔😔
Does anybody have the Coordinates?
Thanks for watching 😃😃
It is a 1/4 mile from Trail head at bridge to nowhere, just follow river down stream and have a blast, it’s close to Coyote flats on Google maps, watch the video and check out the simple path we took
You can actually see the river we walked to from the trailhead view looking down, it’s a fun place
Do u need a permit to camp there?
We have never camped there . Best to check with the local forestry for the San Gabriel mts. And river online to make sure . 😀😀
Please bring your own trash bag. Littering and graffiti is horrible
Yes please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Its legal to camp there?
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?
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 😀
@@hikebytes water looks like you could even drink it 🤤
It is beautiful and clear and tempting but Wouldn't do that unless you had an excellent water filter!
Do you need permits to camp?
Yes Check with the Angeles forest Forestry service
Online👍👍

I wanna go visit but I’m sure a lot of people are gonna go now
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.
@@hikebytes thank you I usually try to get weekdays off cause it’s less packed everywhere lol but I’ve seen other videos talking about the trash gonna have to take some bags just in case there’s trash to keep it clean that place looks amazing to relax and chill
Thank you for being proactive ! 🙌🏻 Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! 😀😀
How do you get here ? 😮
We have the direction link in the description 👍😀😀👍
Are these new? I haven't heard anything about these my whole life.
Neither have we! We lived in So cal all our lives too and just recently found out about this place! Thank you for watching😀😀
@@hikebytes I'm happy that you found them and shared them here. There are a couple of places like this near Los Angeles up in the foothills as well.
Do you know where? Would love to see more places like these😍😍
@@hikebytes canyon park, but its been closed because of excessive water.
Thank you
Weren’t there signs that says no overnight camping? Why were there poeple camping there..
Thanks for watching 😃😀 we saw no signs in this area
@@hikebytes it’s actually right by the entrance
Is there a parking fee!?
No but you need an Adventure Pass or you will get a ticket. We have a link in the description on where to purchase them. It's $30 for the year or $5for a day pass. Big 5 also carries them. Hope you go and enjoy this beautiful place . Check out our other video on our channel the thumbnail says : Talking Trash ..we show more spots 👍👍
😀😀
Are there any bears in the area
Yes there are but we personally have not seen them.
You must have gone during the week. On weekends, you can expect to see floating diapers and trash, you name it.
The Oakes picnic are is the worst!
are dogs allowed?
We saw dogs along the river, yet we do not know officially if it’s allowed, we have always seen dogs on the Bridge to Nowhere hike, which is the same River. East Fork of the Adam Gabriel River 😀😀
Are there snakes there?
We have seen rattlesnakes and other types in the area. So do be aware .
Is there restrooms???
Well there is one at the trailhead in the parking lot you would have to hike back up the hill.
@@hikebytes is it a long walk?
About 1/8 of a mile from where we walked down
Yes, but sometimes there closed or full of BEE'S. very TRASHY
Location for google maps???
Thanks for watching, 😀😃search, “Bridge to nowhere trailhead”
Hike downstream, follow visual directions from our video
Any bear visitors?
Well the campers we talked to said a bear came into their camp that night but they scared him away.
We did not run into any thank goodness!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
What about snakes?
Yes there are some in the area . They like the warm sun
Be aware around the rocks on the land in the sun .
@@VeronicaPerez-sc8vc Yup Garder, Gophor , Whip Snake Coral & our FAVORITE ...RATTELERS. YUP!
Yup! but I'm more wooried about the Mountain Lions that see YOU but you don't see them until it's happens.
This is awesome. I've seen videos of San Gabriel river and it looked trashed up with lots of ppl. Is this the same place??
This video is the same place
czcams.com/video/bx1Hyx5MUCg/video.html
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 😀👍🏻
is the water that clear or some social media scammm here LOL
The water is clear and beautiful it's got rocks on the bottom so it stays clear not muddy . We suggest not going to The Oakes picinic area there is a lot of trash in that area . 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. 😀😀
@@hikebytes i will go to this based on ya video, ty man
Enjoy ! Let us know about your experience! 😀😀
Hi we wanted to let you know according to All Trails it's closed due to a fire recently . Keep checking All trails app to see when it will reopen . It may be open downstream from the fire .
@@hikebytes thx man, I was going to check out this weekend but yea... ur video is awesome, makes it looks like hawaii lol
... wow , even graffiti on some trees ... stupidity is universal , sad ...
Graffiti is a huge problem 😔😔
LEAVE NO TRACE. PACK IT IN PACK IT OUT.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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.
By the way we have another vid coming out tomorrow at 11:30am that shows many more rock pool locations away from the crowds of popular places, and also tackles the trash issue, encouraging all of us to pick up some as we hike 🙌👍🏻
Let people enjoy the spot instead of being a downer
@@OgHazeKiller562 LOL I enjoy the spots myself! Doesn’t mean we all can’t be actively mindful to keep the spots healthy!
@@OgHazeKiller562there’s nothing wrong with a little reminder. Too many people forget that we should leave no trace.
Lol stop being a cry baby, who cares aslong as we enjoy the water f it😂
