Three Sisters

In the outskirts of Descanso lies a well kept hike to the surprisingly large and ponderous waterfall of the Three Sisters. Over a mile away and it can already be seen and heard in the distance.



A bit closer and all three falls can be seen for lack of a better camera lens. (oh, iphone, I know you do what you can.) The stream pours down from it.



Living in SoCal, sometimes (for me) it's frustrating when the rains and low temperatures run late into the Spring. But the perk is a stunning bloom. Hello my little California poppies.



Part of the stream we crossed.



A closer look at how absolutely wide this waterfall is. The top falls isn't really visible from this shot.



An unknown person sitting at the bottom of the third falls.



Josh right at the top of the 3rd falls.



Chris and the ever plucky Angel btwn the 1st & 2nd falls. Angel was so good; she crossed most of the river and got up & down the heights w/ almost no help.



Adesh & Avi chillin'.



Some water side plants beside the 1st falls. I was too wussy to climb on up to the top of the falls upon the slippery rock.



That fingernail bit of tan in the upper middle part of the photo; that's the trail we hiked down to get there.



Late afternoon clouds rolling in on the way back.
