DesertMud - Hiking, Mountain Biking, Pine Trees, Southern California
Desert Waterfall Update

the hike:
Desert Waterfall
date: 03/26/1995
location: Ord Mountains, near Hesperia & Apple Valley, Southern California, USA
type: Out & Back
distance: ~2 Mi RT
difficulty: *
scenic: ****
technical: *
driving directions: Take Bowen Ranch Rd to Oak Springs Ranch Rd and park right near the beginning of Oak Springs Ranch Rd by a bunch of large boulders.
hiking route: Hike on the road that goes down into the canyon, not Oak Springs Ranch Rd. Go down this road on the side of the hill. At the bottom, there is a creek and a little way up the creek there is a waterfall 15-20ft.
details: This is cool because it's a waterfall in a pretty much desert area. It's a real short hike, be a good place to take a girlfriend and relax have a picnic or something. The trail continues past the waterfall if you want.

There are few corners of California in which Tom Stienstra has not set Vibram-soled foot at one time or another.
In this information-packed guidebook, the longtime San Francisco Chronicle outdoors columnist catalogues the best (and the rest) of the Golden State's trails, combining his encyclopedic knowledge with that of another accomplished trekker, Ann Marie Brown. The two cover more than a thousand hikes that range from short jaunts to multiday expeditions, rating each walk for length and difficulty and providing notes on water sources, points of interest, permits, contacts, and other useful data. At the most demanding end of the scale, for example, is a 14-mile scramble up Mount Shasta, for which they recommend that you carry an ice ax and crampons; on the moderate side is the 10.6-mile ramble through Pine Valley, in the coastal mountains above Big Sur, with "an up-and-down course that soon becomes more down than up"; and on the easy end is a 1.2-mile round-trip amble along the Desert View Nature Trail near the summit of Southern California's Laguna Mountain. In every instance, Stienstra and Brown tell what you can expect to see and where you're likely to encounter trouble in the form of storms, predatory mammals, or crowds.
Thoroughly updated, this is by far the best single source of information on planning a hiking trip in California. --Gregory McNamee (Review © 1996-2001, Amazon.com, Inc)
