San Ysidro Falls
Santa Barbara front country
I headed out for a quick trip up to see San Ysidro Falls again. It has been very nearly two months since the last time and I am expecting a little less water over the top.The waterfall below the section of trail with railing is still flowing nicely too, so why not find a way down to see it? It turns out there really is no easy way down. I go down very carefully and slowly. There really is a waterfall down there.
I make my way along a thin path that climbs the side of the falls easily hoping it leads to a better route between the waterfall and the trail. It does not, but it is no worse for climbing up. Then it is off to the main waterfall. The trail has been cleaned up of all the big rocks from the big storm. It makes things much easier.
Someone has piled rocks up to make the pool at the bottom of the falls a little bigger. Since it has been so dry, but not completely, I have gotten used to reaching out to tag the falls and feel the water. It is silly, but I go for it again today, first taking off my shoes. After a snack, I head back down again.
