Switzer Falls Hike (August 2018)

John, Su, Julie H, Elaine, Cindy, Rich and Stephanie spent the morning hiking to Switzer Falls in the San Gabriel Mountains.
We encountered this sign at the beginning or our hike.

John and the rest of the group don’t appear to be too concerned about the possibility of a bear encounter.
Steph looks happy to be out hiking on a Sunday a.m.

This is a 4.5 mile out-and-back hike.
The first stretch of the hike has lots of shade.

We did a little bit of climbing.
Su always comes prepared with a map of the hike on her phone.

Here comes John and Rich.

We enjoyed some beautiful views along the trail.

The waterfall is up ahead.
This would be a stream crossing if there were more water.

Switzer Falls! It is currently a trickle, but it is a 50 foot waterfall during other parts of the year.
We enjoyed having the ‘waterfall’ all to ourselves!

We heard and saw this woodpecker.
We saw this cute dog on the last stretch of the trail. The owner said it is half Rottweiler and half Huskey. Huh?!!

We questioned the dog’s breed, but the owner claims he had genetic testing done and it matched what the shelter told him.
THANK YOU SU for leading us on Hike #1 of the “Let’s Get Back Into Hiking Shape” series. We all enjoyed it and appreciate all of your planning and hiking expertise!
