Camping out above LA | Henninger Flats Backpacking
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Matt, Hector, and I backpacked up to Henninger Flats to camp out above Los Angeles. If you get a chance check out the museum on site as well.
The trail will pass right by Eaton Falls, which is a great side trip!

Good stuff bro ty for taking the time. That museum was dope
I hiked there today and everything was closed. Great video to show what’s all inside.
Hopefully it opens soon.
Can you still camp?
Great trip... Awesome views, I'd like to make it to this campground. Great job on the tour, lots to see. Can't beat the fire wood already split for you. Thanks for sharing, take care Jason.
You'd enjoy it up there.
Insane view. I never knew how cool the mountains above LA could be! 👈👍👍
Hidden Gems everywhere!
Just like I’m watching Huell Howser Show, great content in here. I can’t wait to bring my family there as an educational trip. Isn’t that a Cherry Blossom tree?
fivemoreminutes
THAT'S AMAZING!😆
Thanks for the Huell compliment! Would be another great spot to bring the boys backpacking. I don't think they were a cherry tree, but it did look similar.
This place never disappoints.
Yep! Those views are awesome!
We need more from hector lol
Great Video Great Channel! Thanks for this, never knew about this place...
Great spot for a quick getaway
As always, awesome trip! That was fun. That sun was brutal on the way in. Great vid man, you captured it well. You showed me more in that museum in your vid then I actually saw
Lots of fun up there!
Very Cool. Thanks for sharing this place. Looks like a great place I would like to visit! Crazy how old our trees are....
Great views along the way.
Excellent!! nice museum tour and what a great spot above the City
So cool to have a getaway so close to downtown.
I guess in SoCal especially in the LA area ya gotta be thankful they even let you do a fire... not a bad spot to post up for the night though. Well done sir
Thanks bud!
I'm sl jealous Jason. This is one of the two places I try to bring our scouts to every year. I use to show a video on the history of the Mt. Lowe railway in the museum. The views are incredible. You made me relive it. Thanks for sharing. By the way, on days where the fog rolls in it's incredible to watch it roll over LA and move into San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
It would have been great to watch that fog!
Awesome!! I gotta check out all the conifers up there! The LA views are legit, and so are the views of all those trees planted up there! They look so lush for being at such a low elevation!
You would love it up there!
I wonder if there are any Pacific Douglas-Firs (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) planted there. I saw a cone of one displayed in the pine cone case display on the video!
Looks like a cool camp good food good friends Hip Hip!!
Thanks for watching bud!
nice hike
Can't wait for this campsite to open back up.
Nice job, very informative and those tacos looked bomb. I really liked the timelapse too.
Thanks Jim! Tacos are one of my favorite meals to make out there.
I'm on my way next weekend
Have fun! Hopefully it opens up by then!
That was an awesome weekend!
Yes it was!
Wow, I already had this marked on my Google maps as a place I wanted to visit, great job with this video, Matt and Hector are great guys to kick up some dirt with. Those benches are just crazy, I would wanna cowboy camp right on them. Could those trees be in the Cherry family?
Not sure if they are Cherry or not, but you would love it there!
Nice vid beautiful narrative j just camped out there last weekend
Thanks Shuping! There are some great nightime views there.
Hi did u need any permits or such? I’m gonna try to hit this up but I’m from Idaho and idk any of the regulations down there
This camp is still closed right now.
@@HuckOutdoors still closed?
@@lalogee37 not sure.
There is a place to fill up water bottles to the right of the museum
When we went they had no running water there.
The museum has pictures of rattlesnake bites. GoLite is old school, they are out of business. My scout troop used to backpack henninger.
I saw the pictures of the bites, but the poster is getting faded pretty bad!
I’m planning to do my first ever backpacking trip here. Where do you store the food at night ? Is there any need for bear canisters ?
You hang it from the trees or store in one of the wooden food lockers there.
Do you drive up there or do you have to hike up there and park at the bottom
Hike up
What did you think of the Haven Tarp and NetTent? I've been eyeing that one for a while now.
My First time using it, but I really enjoyed it. Lots of space.
The trees with the purple flowers are most likely Crepe Myrtle trees.
Thank you
Do you know if the trail is open for backpacking?
I heard it hasnt reopened yet.
Cool Place to visit. Gets busy on the weekends but amazing views!
Best sites are up in the Middle camp area. But there was a homeless guy living up there for quite awhile in a make shift Tent and he'd harass people camping in the middle camp area. I don't understand why the rangers hadn't kicked him out! Hopefully they have by now.
Were the bathrooms open? Last time I was there they were closed.
I believe the homeless guy was gone. When we got there and checked in, the ranger set us up in the lower camp.
Awesome! I wish they added floor fire pits! That would make it perfect with those views at night!
How cold did it get?
I know the guy you are talking about! He through a rock at me on a random weeknight when I was pretty much alone up there… he kept creeping on me all night…finally had to threaten him within an ounce of his life to make him go away! This is the problem when camping too close tot he city i find. Bummer! Rangers need to step up, but apparently they can’t do all that much.
Great video how difficult and how much of a hike was it in?
1500-2000 feet in 2.5 miles. No shade
Great video. Are the sites first come first serve?
yes they are
Is it open now?
I heard it is not. :(
Are there any fees??
It was free
Great vid, but dude... you're sucking wind pretty hard. Are you okay?
This was an older video and one of my first back on the trail after having 2 blood clots.
