INTO THE WILD
This is Wildwood Falls, 22 ft. high. It was surprisingly quick and fairly easy to get down to it. I did not spend much time here. I think it would not have been difficult to get all the way down to the bottom, however, there was a swath of poison oak in the way and I did not want to deal with that (of course, I ended up being in poison oak later that morning anyway – ugh). The rain was coming and I had another hike I wanted to do before it started so I took my photos quickly and headed back up to the car.
There was a lot of trash down here that I had to pick up, left from the disprespectful kids that came here last summer (or before) to jump off the waterfall. Please, people, leave no trace. I beg you. If you see trash left by others then please pick it up. We all have a responsibility to leave places better than we find them. It just takes a little bit!

I was on a hike in Yosemite last weekend and played clean up for the tourists… toilet paper, silicon gel pack, used underwear, orange peal, a couple banana peals, and assorted wrappers. it’s funny the disconnect between “lets go see nature” and just dropping trash on the ground.

People are just horrible, but thanks for cleaning it up!
