We went searching for more hidden swimming holes in Yosemite National Park. This time, we explored near the Wawona Campground for an awesome spot called The Ledge. This swimming hole gets its name from the long granite ledge that borders the pool. We also found some other beautiful pools above The Ledge and one was so deep it was perfect for some cliff jumping.

They don't want you to know about THIS spot in Yosemite: czcams.com/video/v_KEjq5vkOM/video.html
So I guess there's more than one Ledge in Yosemite, the one featured in this video with the pools of water and the other one is the old closed trail that starts somewhere behind Camp Curry and goes to the top of Glacier Point. It's fun to boulder hop in Yosemite, but nowadays I won't do risky things like that. If you take a fall, and survive the fall, you might wind up with broken bones stuck in a very precarious place, hard for SAR to reach while you lay there miserable. This past year I had a friend that was doing similar climbing, then took a thirty foot fall. He broke his tail bone and hip bones on each side. The good thing is he didn't break his back and become paralyzed, but it was a heck of a thing putting his bones back together and lots of therapy to walk again.
Bro...you are the man...You don't even know how much I enjoy watching these vids..Watching these vids relax me without even being there..it's like a mini get away for me..I love the outdoors... the scenery the all the water ways...im jealous.....Plus the info you give is always top notch..props to you my friend #Respect
That really means a lot to me, thank you.
The last pool is my favorite. I was just there. So much more water than last year. There were 3 additional waterfalls this time. I just got back. There are even crazier pools further up those trails
How long did it take?
Great videos. Appreciate you sharing these gems and the detailed commentary on how to get to them. I wondered How high was that jump you took into the pool? Looked around 25-30ft
Not sure but that sounds about right
I have to check this out.
enjoying this at work...
Lol, thanks bro
GREAT video! Thank you!
🙌
Reminds me of some of the places I used to hang out before I started truck driving if you ever find yourself in the Springfield Oregon area or you need some help finding places in Northern California hit me up.😎👍
Thanks!
where is the starting point for this hike it looks so amazing
You went the hard way. Theres a much easier way. Take the trail to where theres a nice waterfall just before the trail goes to the left and begins to climb. You go right over the the creek and once on other side half shimmy up between the slot of two large boulders and then is minor rock scrambling for maybe 50 to 100 yards and you would have been in same place you ended up after crossing at the top of that waterfall. Its one of my fav places in Yosemite!
Also you unintentionally found Honeymooners and Pot#3....also an easier way to get there. 😂
Yeah we realized that and took the trail back down when we were done. I was trying to conceal how easy it is to get there.
@@JesseStLouis Crap...and i just blew it! Delete my comment or just the directions. So beautiful...I 1st discovered it when looking Arrowhead and Pot#3 but had misleading directions...needless to say...I had never been so happy to not find what I set out to! Like you said 'solid backup'. It was 4th of July weekend and had it to ourselves!
Can you tell me how to get there? Outdoors is my passion and I always try to get away from the dam touris in the area since they always ruin everything.
6 1/2 minutes of awesome! that jump at the end looks like a very deep pool, thanks so much for showing us this spot
It was really deep!
perfect!
Hey Im taking a trip up to Yosemite. Could you give me the starting point if this hike
Any chance for GPS Coordinates for this?
Indeed its beautiful 😊
But looks like difficult to climb up 😊
Oh yeah it was
That was a pretty big cliff jump ! 😳 deserves a new sub ! Lol
Thanks bro🤙if u thought that was big, check this out: czcams.com/video/VUdHMN5H_k0/video.html
Man, Yosemite is probably the coolest place ever 😛 Keep up the videos man 👍🏽 Quality stuff!
Thanks
Where exactly is this place located ? Looks awesome bro
Chilnualna Falls has some nice pools, maybe 6 miles on a trail out of Wawona. Each of them are about swimming pool size. Count the fish clear water. In '73 anyway!
I was for it till I saw that big snake at the end. Scary
He was cool. Didn't bother us at all
How long was the hike from where you parked?
Nice Vid. What are your thoughts on this? During many visits to state/national parks, many rangers had mentioned, even though you see a pristine pool of water, it doesn’t mean you should swim in it.. I guess, disturbing the ecosystem?
I could see that if you are covered in sunblock or bug spray... but otherwise I think it's fine
Were you able to get to the big tub at 6:14 by continuing up the creek from the Ledge, or did you return to the trail first and then hike to it?
We continued up the creek and did some sketchy climbing but I think there is a trail to access it too
Is this Chilnualna Creek?
DId you just waterslide down a rock into the pool? Awesome! I am so coming here!
Lol
Lovely video. Maybe a little less talking and a little more showing. But its still just fine. As a Yosemite fan, thanks
Are u up for death valley north easten part theres pupfish natural fresh water canyon.pypfish endangered.u must get permission from "dvnp".totally worth it.130 outside 80 degree water.theres also a couple natural springs in the area.go in springtime or winter.unless u have a serious tolerence to heat.4x4 a must u can rent a jeep inside at scottys castle.id like to c u explore devils pool
Yeah I've been to death valley a few times. Is Devils Pool the clothing optional hot springs? If so I've heard of it but never been.
Its closed off but rangers will happily open n moniter for u a phew weeks in advance.
Thank you for a normal outdoor video without the shitty hipster music and beer bottles in the water!!!
Lol, thanks for watching. Music is tough. Some like what I use and others don't.
I'm a local.. There cold the devils bath tubs
