Searching for the Grotto Falls in Malibu

  • The Grotto Trail in Malibu is a great hike that leads down to a unique waterfall that falls into a cave. I decided to try and hike to it after some of the recent rain we got and while I did see lots of waterfalls along the way, I ultimately didn't make it down to the Grotto. Here is the video of that adventure and let me know what you think in the comments.

    That was so epic. There hasn’t been water like that up there for I’m gonna say 10-20 years. That’s so cool. Thanks for posting this

    We were just in Malibu and it was raining when we were looking to do a trail. You've inspired me to go back and definitely do this one. Love how at the end you just gave up on keeping your shoes dry - sometimes that's when the fun starts.

    You picked a great day to do the hike. Glad that you finally got to see the waterfalls and shared them with us. Hope that you make it all the way to the Grotto some day and show us what it looks like.

    I push myself at the grotto today, there’s just no way down that safe! Have to wait till the water stops. Running a little bit had a little panic attack trying to get back up. Lol!

  • @bcampbell7026
    @bcampbell7026 Год назад +2

    Great hike! You were so close to the grotto though! You were standing on the massive boulders that were hiding the cave. There was a tiny little alcove that you can slip into which was just a few feet from where you turned back.

    My birthday is next Friday, and I’m thinking this would be a great birthday hike to see some waterfalls. And then you say “you probably won’t see any waterfalls if you come” 🤣 oh well, it still looks like a nice hike to do with my good boy. Great video, Josh! of course! 🙌🏽

    You are so lucky to have seen this! I saw waterfalls coming off the rocks in Topanga Canyon in the late 70's but never this. Have you hiked Malibu Creek State Park? I think it's one of the prettiest places in the world. Thanks so much for your videos! ♥

    The waterfall you walk over is usually there in the wet season. Usually it's an easy shallow crossing. The prominent waterfall one from the pair is sometimes present in rainy winters, but I've never seen the 2nd one. There's even a third cascading falls right now to the right of those two that is obscured by trees. You really have to go with someone who knows the route to get to the Grotto right now due to all the water.

  • @samshepperrd

    Unfortunately waterfalls may be signs of fire burning off topsoil and canopy foliage, hampering the ability of the soil to absorb water and recharge groundwater which allows the water to be released over a longer period which is more conducive to regrowth of the original foliage.
    Also, the rushing water over the denuded landscape is carrying away topsoil, leaving an area less conducive to establishing new plant growth.

    Did you hear any strange footsteps or bushes rattling? There's been paranormal reports in this area like UFOs, Sasquatch and such.
