Went on a hike yesterday to Bonita Falls. Yes, this is in SoCal, just east of
LA, but the weather down here as been pretty cold for this area, and the hike,
mostly in the shady side of a canyon, was covered with ice and what passes for
snow down here.

The trail head up a steep canyon following the stream that comes over the
waterfall. Lots of ice in places.

Finally we reach the waterfall. Not a lot of water this time of year, but the
ice made it quite unique and interesting.

Notice the graffiti all over the rocks. This is about a mile from the trail
head, and all along the wash to the canyon, and even up the canyon right by the
falls there was an abundance of graffiti. Really sad. Some of it has been
painted out, but has been re-graffitied with impunity.

Bonita falls is suppose to be the 2nd tallest falls in California, but you only
get to see the lower section which is about 90 feet. I think they are cheating
in calling it a 400 foot falls. At least with Yosemite you can see the upper
and lower falls at the same time, but I still call that one cheating, too.
Comments welcome. Some taken with 35-70/4 to keep with Leica content. All on
D600.
