Purpose of the site

This blog will detail 1,000 video hikes in Southern California. By Southern California, I am drawing a line from San Luis Obispo to the Nevada Border. Anything south of that line will be declared "Southern California". In a way, it is a personal challenge to do so many hikes. Mainly, however, it is my way of showcasing how many hiking opportunities there really are right in our own geographic back yard. As a blog, it serves as a companion piece to my Youtube channel "Mike On The Trail". It is also a work in progress, as I don't actually have 1,000 edited videos completed. This will take effort for quite some time before it is declared done. Even then, there will still be more out there. Here's to hiking and all the positive effects it has had on my life...and possibly yours!

#119 San Antonio Falls

A distant look at the many tiers of the falls.

Summary
Near the end of Mount Baldy Road is Manker Flats. This flat and straight section of road makes for a convenient parking area for both San Antonio Falls and for climbers of Mt Baldy (Mount San Antonio). If visiting San Antonio Falls (like I was), the lower part of the hike is shared with Mount Baldy climbers. The hike is up a paved road for less than a mile.  A use trail leaves the road and goes the rest of the way to the Falls. 
At the base of the falls.
The Falls have multiple levels, with the bottom drop only visible from it's base. With waterfalls being generally rare in Southern California, this one puts on quite a show. Chances are you won't be there alone, though. I certainly wasn't. I was able to have a few moments of alone time with the Falls, though, by shooting a quick video and taking pictures before the next wave of visitors arrived.
