She SLIPPED into a Waterfall! Incredible Santa Paula Canyon Adventure

- That one time she slipped into a waterfall....
Wow, well, even though the SoCal Snowmaggedon kept us out of the mountains this weekend, we can't really complain because all that precipitation means the waterfalls are flowing right now! We took advantage of the beautiful southern California winter weather and headed to Santa Paula Canyon to hike to its famous waterfalls and punch bowls. For hikers wanting more of a challenge, it's actually possible (with class 3 climbing across slippery rock) to continue past the main waterfall and up the creek in search of the legendary waterslide. Let's just say that waterslide definitely lived up to the hype - this was one perfect winter hiking adventure!

Love y’alls teamwork and encouragement for each other. Thanks for another awesome adventure!!🌈💓☮️🏔🌻🍄
Thanks Terra! Very glad you enjoyed it. We always have fun on our adventures, but this one was really special because sliding down that waterfall was straight-up little-kid feeling joyous. What a great day it was -- we're still smiling about it 5 days later!❤️
I bet the water is say 60 deg.barrrr . beautiful area beautiful scrambler. Love 💕 this .
Thanks David! We were thinking mid 50s on the water -- it was definitely frigid. But so worth it for the fun. Glad you liked this one! ❤️
Man oh man, or should I say Man&woman, you impress me endlessly with your spirit for adventure, guts&determination. If you are able to accomplish these feats in the natural, what could you do in the spiritual? Fission is the basis of atomic energy. Fusion releases even greater energy. I believe Elise was the woman "taken/formed" out of Adam's "side".
Thank you, Piet! It's so interesting you say that, because we've both been making developing our spiritual side a part of our daily practice recently. It is astonishing how much balance and perspective it provides, even in the face of massive life challenges. ❤️
Evan will love this one. Stay safe.
Heck ya! Hugs to all of you guys!! ❤️
How cold is that water
I have in my younger yrs. I have gone in water like that BURRRR ! the adventure was so cool thank you for sharing .
Heck yes, Lawrence! We have no doubt that you have gotten your polar plunge on -- and probably would again! ❤️
I did a lot of hiking in my days swimming in creeks and water falls its lots of fun love your videos 🎉
Thanks David -- so glad you're enjoying the vids! Ya we're really excited that waterfall season is in full swing this year!! ❤️
That looked like alot of fun!
OMG Henry it was the most fun we've had in ages. Like a gorgeous outdoor amusement park. You have to give it a try if you get a chance! ❤️
Elise and Adam, you both kept me smiling the whole video!! Endless fun is contagious!! Icy cold water chickens me out, but I would do it just for the thrill. Thanks for the wonderful adventures!!!
Thanks Orlando! Endless fun is exactly the right way to put it. We might have kept going down that waterfall forever if we hadn't started shivering so bad! If you ever want to do this hike, we have a tip for you to prepare for the cold water: we've been doing cold plunges at the gym to get ourselves ready for this kind of thing, and it was a huge help. You just start going in for 30 seconds or a minute, and then build that up to about 5 minutes. Then when you go in cold natural water, it's not quite as shocking. ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Thank you so much for the tip!!! Hipotermia is painful and not a pretty sight. Love your fun!!
Have you heard of Wim Hof and the Wim Hof Method? It has to due cold exposure and breathing. You should check him out.
@@soggywaffleboi3309 Not only have we heard of him, we've read lots of his philosophy and he is the main inspiration behind our 3-5 minute cold plunges! ❤
@@soggywaffleboi3309 Thanks, I will check it out!!
Great vid, fun to see these remote places and Elise, solid 10 bod, great job!!
Glad you're enjoying the videos, and that's very nice of you to say. Realistically, that ten would probably have to be out of a total 15 or so, but I appreciate the sentiment. 😂 And speaking of remote places, wait til you see the sufferfest we did this week -- we were out there (in Yosemite, no less!) for 10 straight hours without seeing another single person!
Both of you are obviously in good physical shape to carry out this adventure. Enjoy your youth while you have it. I love your vivacious attitude.
Thanks very much, Albert. We are definitely following your advice, and that's why we're going to start traveling the world and adventuring full time starting next year -- we really want to take advantage of our ability to do these adventures while we have it! ❤️
I loved the music of Elise negotiating obstacles!!! And the reverse sequence on the water slide. All of the water slide sequences.
Another winner video. Thanks. Neat hike.
Thank you very much -- we really appreciate how much attention you pay to details like that. Those were the two sequences we spent by far the most time editing, which means they are our favorites as well! ❤️
That waterslide is sick! Looks like a blast. I love how positive and encouraging you are to each other ❤️
Thanks Sarah! It was really, really fun. We probably would have gone down it a hundred times if we hadn't started shivering so bad. Definitely one of the funnest things we've ever done on trail! ❤️
Your channel should be on Netflix or something! I love you guys, your adventures, your music . Most entertaining channel on RUclips....🥰
Thanks Dorothy, that makes us so happy to hear -- really glad you are enjoying it! ❤️❤️
The slide looks dangerous and fun at the same time. You two sure exude positive energy. Love you two. Thanks for posting this video. Please stay safe and healthy.
That's a pretty accurate description, Robert! Adam went down it a few times from progressively higher elevations before he did the first long slide just to make sure it was relatively safe, but there's no question coming down something that fast with rocks so close there to the right still wasn't entirely prudent. Hellaciously fun, though!, and definitely worth the risk. Glad you enjoyed this one -- we really were feeling positive and upbeat the whole day, even when we kept getting lost off trail! ❤️
Wow that looked amaze balls! Glad you two didn’t bonk your heads at the bottom of the slide.
It was SO fun. And Adam really took care to make sure it was relatively safe by going down like 4 times from ever-increasing heights until he got to the final point we were riding down from. So by that time we were pretty sure we could do it without bonking (though it was pretty close!).
The big dipper 😁👍😎
Hahaha great nickname -- I'm always trying to nickname Adam and that one is solid!!
Rockhounding paradise! Lol!
Haha most definitely!
I'm surprised you guys didn't lose some skin climbing those rocks in your bathing suits 😮 You guys are the best! 👍
Jason you are right on the money -- we actually did both lose some skin. Nothing major, just a couple of scrapes and a bit of blood, but we always think of that as a sacrifice to the trail gods in thanks for a fantastic adventure. So glad you enjoyed this one! ❤️
Beautiful 🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Maria -- such an amazing place! We definitely want to go back and explore even more of it!! ❤️
Challenges are 👍 but risks are not 👎. Be careful friends, always give second thoughts. Amazing you two 🙂
Thanks Travis! We were pretty careful on this one even though I did slip on the waterslide 🙈. But fortunately Adam had already gone down it 4 times, starting low and then from progressively higher elevations, so we knew it was safe. Thank you for the reminder, and we will always remember that it's safety first on these adventures! ❤️
Thank you for these fun videos showing these great beautiful locations to hike. You two put a smile on my face watching your adventures.
It's our pleasure, Mark! So happy you're enjoying, and looking forward to bringing you lots more adventures in 2022! ❤️
Another great video
Thank you very much! Nature and the weather basically handled this one for us! ❤️
n it wasnt freezing cold outa water.. that looks like so much fun,, i bet summer in that pool will b awesome .............luv it
Yes! Would be so fun to do this on a hot summer day (although we’d bet there would be a gazillion people there!). It was pretty spectacular having it all to ourselves 🥰
Awesome video! Definitely looking forward to doing this hike and plunging in the cold water…(maybe) haha! Thanks for sharing 💛🥾
That's what we love to hear Sinai! You've got to go in! I think once you're out there you won't be able to resist :)
I can't get enough of your videos!!! I found you guys mos. ago when I was researching a hike to Angel's Landing. The way you put the videos together, the MUSIC... Elise I was in love with the music before I realized it was you and was blown away when I read it was. It is mesmerizing. Your energy together is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with a bunch of strangers. I have really fallen in love with hiking and now I have sooo many places on my bucket list thanks to you 2!
Wow Candis you just made me feel SO happy! It really means a lot that you liked the music even before you knew it was us. And the fact that these videos are helping you love hiking even more is basically our dream. All we want to do is build a community of people who love the outdoors and inspire each other, and this makes us feel like it's really happening.Thank you so much!! ❤️ --E
Oh and definitely yes!! I would totally slide down those falls!!!
❤️you guys!!
Heck yeah you would! It was like being kids in a water park -- a really cold water park, but still, totally awesome! ❤️
Awesome as always guys! Glad Elise got the new pool shoes! 😂 Be careful out there!
Thanks Paul! Ya the water shoes are nice, but those waterfalls are slippery! One of these days we're gonna do some waterfall climbing and rappelling with ropes -- which will definitely be a be careful moment but should be pretty darn fun as well! ❤️
Love your videos. You guys are always smiling and it is infectious - cheers me up every time. Most people would have a tired or beaten up expression after the hard sections but you guys are always laughing it off - "Ha ha it was so hard". That's an amazing mindset to have. As for the water slide - I would do it as long as the water at the end is not deep because I can't swim!
Thanks so much, Jai! Your words made us very happy, and you would have loved the water slide -- the water was deep enough to land in safely, but you could still stand up in it so no swimming was necessary! ❤️
Botanically intensive bushwhacking and river chutes hold my BEST memories
Haha not many people can say that, but those who can are living fantastic lives!!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard too true.
Dicey! Dicey! Dicey! Is all I can say. Adam definitely had the wrong shoes on this one. I thought Elise negotiated the obstacles very gracefully considering she doesn’t have Giraffe legs like Adam. You two were like little giddy kids playing in and around the waterfalls. Yes I would do it in a heartbeat if only I was maybe thirty year younger. Thanks for making me feel thirty years younger with this vlog guys! Blessings! 🤗❤️
Haha Larry we wish you were out there with us -- you would definitely have been crushing it on that slide even now! We really did feel like kids on that thing -- literally just going again and again until we were shivering so much we had to come in! Wow was it fun. So happy to share these dicey adventures with you! ❤️
I loveeeeeed this one! How fun that nature created the most perfect water slide. I would totally do it! Again and again!
Not only would you do it, you will do it! Next time you and Marco are here, we gotta get Megan and Coco and all go for the afternoon. You will love the whole hike, and it's only an hour drive from LA!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard omg!!!!!! This sounds so epic we are so in! I can’t believe it’s only an hour from LA! Perfect 🤩
I love you two, such fun to share your adventures. Yes you are lucky to live where you do. I'm in England, it's cold, damp and grey ! However, I've spent a lot of time hiking, camping( tent) and climbing in the four corners areas since 1992. That slide reminded me of Slide Rock State Park near Sedona in Arizona.... very busy though ! I hope Elise didn't hurt her coxcys on that fall, that would be painful, guess the cold water might numb the fall ?
Martin thank you for the tip on Slide Rock! We'd never even heard of it, but now are definitely going to visit it on our next Sedona trip (we love Sedona, and go pretty much every year). I fortunately didn't get any injury other than a little bruise on my slip, but you're right -- the cold water made it so that we were feeling no pain whatsoever! Meanwhile, hang in there with the British weather. We're thinking of coming over there in the summer of 2023 (after doing some Alps and Dolomites adventures in summer 2022). Adam loves England and lived there for several years when he was younger, so he wants to take me to all his favorite places! ❤️ --E
Awesome! Maybe next time bring more grippy shoes in your packs and change shoes as you need to? I totally would have gotten in by the waterfall... have been in the Merced when it was so cold that it felt like your skin was burning. Pretty fun. Not sure that I would have done the waterslide without watching someone else first. Once broke my tailbone on a slide. Took over a year to fully recover. The people who arrived at the slide after you didn't have good intel on how to stay on the trail back? What a blast that looked like!
Ya John this definitely might have been a good time to bring the grippier shoes! The tailbone was definitely a concern for us too, but Adam went from a low level first and then progressively higher so we knew it wouldn't be too bad. There was no one who came to the slide after us except for one guy we passed one the way up (who happened to be a huge fan of the channel!) who we told what we were doing and he decided to follow up behind us. But pretty sure he was even more clueless than us about the route finding on the way back! It's all good though -- there was some bushwhacking but it was so, so worth it for this crazy fun experience. This is definitely one we're going to go back to! ❤️
that looked an absolute blast you guys make me laugh going to lake garda in italy for my holidays next year will have to swim iin the lake
Yes Peter! We could not recommend this one more highly -- it was SO freaking fun at the waterfall slide, and a beautiful river hike up to it as well. We visited Lake Garda this summer and loved it -- you definitely need to swim in it, it's actually pretty warm!
I shiver in my chair just watching you guys in the water. That has got to be cold!
Haha it was freezing, Phyllis! But honestly, so ridiculously fun that we barely even cared until we started really shivering. Also, we've been doing cold plunges for 3-5 minutes after our workouts at the gym in order to prepare us for this kind of adventure, and that really helped a lot in terms of knowing how to endure the cold and not have it take away from the fun of water sliding!
Love all your wonderful hiking nature videos 👌👏🙏👍
Thanks Jose -- we're so happy you're enjoying them! Lots more big adventures to come! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard thanks you🙏,I would love to do adventures like you guys,but one quick question how do you guys protect yourselves against maybe an encounter with a bear,mountain lion or even poisonous snakes?is there any kind of plan we should have before going on a long hike like the ones you guys do?
@@JoseRamos-hz5fc Yes Jose, that 's a great question. We always have a plan, and it starts with bringing our Garmin mini on every hike where we don't have cell service. Then in case of snake bite or something, we can immediately summon help. As for bears, we always try to remember to talk loudly -- especially in the morning on unpopulated trails -- so we can avoid surprising a bear. We have accidentally surprised a couple in the past, but luckily they were nice bears and just walked peacefully away!
I’m trying to catch up on your vids. But had to say, you’re crazy. That slide was nuts.
Haha Jerry you would definitely have gone down the slide! It was cold, but not near as bad as the Subway!! ❤️
You are really making the absolute best out of this times!! Congrats!
We sure do try! It's funny because we had actually planned an entirely different kind of adventure for this day snowshoeing to a local peak, but the night we were supposed to leave someone posted a video of an avalanche happening right on the trail. It was like the trail gods were sending us a message that we needed to go explore these falls!
Congratulations for hanging on to the camera during the water slide. I’d have to glue it to my hand
Haha thanks Walter -- we were definitely worried about letting go! Really glad we took the camera down with us though because those shots of our faces going while speeding downward totally crack us up! ❤️
I love it. This was one of my favorite spot back when I was in the states. I need to go back to this incredible hike. Congrats great video great day.
Manuel that's awesome you've already done this! Once we did it, we couldn't believe we hadn't tried it before. So fun. We will definitely go back again for more of nature's fun park. Meanwhile, very glad you enjoyed the video, and that it encouraged you to come back for some more incredible California hiking! ❤️
Such a fun video. The close up shots of you both sliding down were my favorite. So candid and could tell that you guys were having an awesome time !!
Haha yes! This one was amazing. Just pure fun the whole way. Definitely one Aalia will enjoy once she has a bit more experience!! ❤️
I didn’t know this nice trail. 2 hours from my place. Definitely I’ll try this trail soon. Thank you for your video. Every time I enjoy your new video, and I’m looking forward to seeing next one.
Oh heck yeah, you've got to try it! Very glad you're enjoying the videos -- we're trying to do a new one every Thursday this year, so lots more adventures coming up! ❤️
That looked so fun.That sunshine looks fantastic, can't wait till it gets warmer.Never spending a whole winter in Iowa again.Keep having fun.😘
Thanks Jackie! We really are feeling blessed this week with all the warmth and sunshine. Adam spent 4 winters in Minnesota during college, and he is never going back (in the winter anyway -- in spring it is beautiful!). You def need to get out of the ice for a little vacay to California!❤️
😳 wow guys 👏what a rad adventure awesome job hell yeah I'd water slide 🙌
Yeah Shanni!!!! So glad you liked this, and hope you get a chance to do it at some point. It really was so freaking fun -- the hike was fun the whole way, and the water slide was just a straight up blast. You would definitely love it! ❤️
Another great adventure as usual thanks for sharing guys I think I would of fell into that waterfall on purpose looks fun
I tried to tell Adam that it was all on purpose but he didn’t believe me 😂 so glad you enjoyed this one! Hope you’re staying warm out there! - E
Wow!! I can’t believe you came to Santa Paula!! We are SP locals and I’ve been waiting for my sons to get old enough to take them to the punch bowls! You guys have a great day!
No way! How old are your sons? We were thinking this would be an absolutely awesome adventure for kids once they were strong enough to handle some of the scrambling. Can't believe we've never been here before, but looking forward to going back and even scrambling beyond the waterslide- we hear there's some fun stuff beyond that too!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard I have a 2 , 6 , and my oldest just turned 8 last week, All boys! We try to take them camping and/or hiking at least once a month. Last month we went to hike in the cachuma area, not a long hike (about a mile in) but I still I had to carry my 6 year old out, but ultimately we all had a blast!!
That is too adorable! Love that you’re getting them into hiking so young (and impressed you were able to carry your six year old- wow!). Soon enough they’ll be conquering this one and loving it!
That looks so amazing to do I'm glad you guys had fun
Thanks Luis! It really was amazing -- sliding down that waterfall is probably one of the funnest things we've ever done on a hike. We literally just kept going like little kids until our bodies were shivering so much we had to stop! ❤️
Amazing, as always friends :-)
Thanks Petr! Super glad you got to see this -- the funnest adventure we've had in a while!!❤️
super awesome adventure
Thanks Carl! This one was pretty perfect as far as adventures go. Can’t believe we’ve lived here all these years and never explored this area until now!
amazing place! next one on the list! so much fun we'll you make every place to seem fun! 😍
Marlon you are absolutely going to love this one -- we pretty much guarantee it! So beautiful, so fun. Just make sure you go on a warm-ish day without too much wind or you'll freeze in that water!
I love my toe socks - I've never gotten a blister since I started using them!
Kaitlin that is so great to hear!! Adam is exactly the same -- years ago he would blister on every major sufferfest, but since the toe socks not a single one!! ❤️
You have the coolest videos. I can't believe you don't have at least a hundred thousand subscribers!
Thanks so much, Marty! Very glad you're enjoying them. And stay tuned, because we have LOTS of big adventures coming up throughout 2022! ❤️
Nice day for hike and fun🤘🏽🤿🤿
Yes! We had planned to do it the weekend before but there were super high winds in the area and that did not sound fun while navigating freezing water. But this weekend it was perfect and 70 degrees -- couldn't have been better! ❤️
Amazing video, the teamwork here is so inspiring. Once again the video is simply a masterpiece.
Thank you so much -- that's very kind of you, and makes us feel quite happy on a chilly Santa Monica morning! ❤️
Fabulous adventure and beautiful scenery 👍👍👍
Be safe and be well ❤️
Thanks Clay! We could barely believe this place actually existed even as we were repeatedly hurtling down the waterfall. Very glad you enjoyed it -- and you be safe and well too! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard
Really appreciate the response 👍
Hola strangers!!!!
It’s Lea. 😘
You two didn’t surprise me one bit. ‘Piece of cake’ wink wink 🙌🏻👏
Xoxoxoxo
Haha hi Lea! We're still shivering from that crazy waterslide!! ❤️❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard I bet! 🥶
Again, only you both brave enough. Fearless couple 😂
Good adventure you two! I love that you both go to a new spot and conquer your fears because the beauty is always worth it. I am 6'4, that notch on the bottom of the slide looks like it could hurt Adam, glad you both experienced the winter water in SoCal!
Wow Jared I didn't know you were that tall! Yeah I was a little worried, but went from progressively higher levels the first few times so by the time I got to the highest point I was pretty confident it was safe. You would have loved it! --A
Pretty cool video. Lot of fun in your hike....
Yes Antonio! This hike was all about laughing and having fun even before we got to the waterfall. Then once we got there, we were like a couple of crazy kids! Glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
So cool! I live in Ventura County and this is one of my favorite trails. I was trying to figure out where you guys went off-trail after ascending the steep section to the right of the main waterfall haha. I’m so glad you guys got to enjoy the slide despite the frigid water! I witnessed a friend of mine veer out of the slide and bounce off the rockwall to the right, luckily crashing into it feet first before going in the water, and he was okay. I once climbed that rockwall with the rope/ledge to jump into that pool, and across from that there’s also a huge rope swing which I’ve seen other people use.. There’s a few backcountry campsites too, you might’ve seen one of them as you went past. There’s also one right before you guys got stopped by the cliff/before the slab scramble next to the falls/rope section, which crazily is also the starting point of an outdated Forest Service trail called Last Chance Trail that leads above the canyon on the hillside across from where you guys were cliff-bogged, ascending up to Hines Peak/Topa Topa and making for an 18-mile RT hike. Thank you guys for making this beautiful video and sharing it with the world, and for always giving great advice. Wishing you guys many more amazing adventures!
Trevor that is amazing that you have this as your home hike! Thank you so much for the info about the rope swing, which we will definitely try the next time we go. We're thinking in summer once the days are longer to maybe try to go all the way up the stream bed to find more waterfalls even further up, so we will definitely be back! Ya we definitely got off trail a few times, but somehow that made it even more fun because it added some interesting challenges. Very glad you liked the video -- that means a lot coming from you since you know the hike so well! We wish you lots more great adventures too, and we'll definitely be sharing lots more of ours with you! ❤️
That looks SO FUN! I am jealous!!! Been freezing cold and windy here! Great video, kick ass climbing shots and Elise is SOO charming in this one! Even with the teasing, great job!
Thanks Karl! Ya we saw how cold it's been in CO, and you are definitely one of the people we were thinking of with that shout-out at the end. E on a work call right now, but when she's done I'll tell her you gave her some props! --A
Thanks Karl! And I hope you saw I teased him right back with those ridiculous toe socks! --E
You guys are crazy- in the best way possible! Love the variety of different challenges you undertake. Would I try that waterslide? - like to say yes, but I don't know, you two make it look easy/doable!!!
Haha thanks Michael! We probably are a little crazy, but craziness can definitely make life more interesting, right? We're pretty sure you would have tried the slide once you saw Adam do it. He went from three progressively higher levels just to test if it was safe first, so after that you would have felt comfortable to go (though that water was really freaking cold!). ❤️
This looks so beautiful. Love the rock formations. I wish it would rain again 😭
It really was beautiful, Dalia. There is nothing prettier than California waterfalls after a nice rain! ❤️
You'd enjoy the douglas river in the Douglas apsley national park and another one I think it's called Dee river running from the mount field national park into lake repulse
Another one you'd really enjoy is the upper reaches of meander river...the water is crystal clear and just as cold.. best in December when you get the local prostanthera flowering
I've been wet roping and I can say it is truly enjoyable.
Adam you are definitely making us want to book that flight!! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard you gotta do rocky cape in November, all the native orchids come out
@@LiveHardxLoveHard while you're over here castle rock and pigeon house mountain in the budawangs ranges are a must I did them when I was 10, but they still comment their own respect. Especially castle rock.
Mt warning is also worth a hike. But it's less easy to go off track, with lawyer vine/wait-a-while making that near impossible.
a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Thank you, very glad you enjoyed it! We will definitely keep up the adventure content -- lots of big plans for 2022! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
What a fun time, I had to look that place up, its right outside of LA, I can't believe it looks so summer like you are definitely spoiled. Although I am sure the water was cold. That waterslide looked awesome I would definitely try it, but my kids would spend all afternoon there. FYI, I would definitely wear toe socks with water shoes. Comfort over form every time.
Yes! Totally knew you would do the slide, and also sort of suspected you'd back the toe-socks. I hate blisters! We might have overdone it a little with the sliding (approaching hypothermia), but it was really just that fun. Your kids would definitely go nuts on it! -- A
Amazing adventure!! That waterslide was epic, so fun to watch you two sliding down 😂😊😊
Thanks Nicole it was soooooo fun! Literally the most fun we've had on a trail in years -- probably since we sledded down an Alp on a WAG bag from France into Italy several years ago! ❤️
OMG Elise, I got so nervous watching you fall hope you're ok and Adam coming close to the rock on the bottom of slide, but I'm glad you guys had so much fun, I'd do it if more people were doing it to get hyped up cause it looks sketchy at the same time. Looks like you had fun though, thank you.
Aw thanks Herlyn! I just got a little bruise on my butt, but a few scrapes and bruises are pretty much par for the course on our hikes. Adam did a bunch of test runs from progressively higher starting points, so he pretty much knew by the time he went from the high point that he would get close to that big rock but not hit it. He got really cold going down the slide so many times, but even then he still didn't want to get out! It really was fun, and you definitely would have done it if you'd been there with us! ❤️ --E
Well, that got my attention, Elise!! Love watching you two doing multiple slides down the rocks. In response to your questions---NO! Love you guys.
Sorry dad, probably should have texted you with a warning not to have a heart attack when we posted this. Promise I’m not trying to kill you cause I love ya too much! ❤️❤️🥰
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Aww--it was very cute when you both went down the slide. ❤
I think we could have talked you into going 😂
Looks like a fun hike. That's awesome that you went on the waterslide....again and again! Yes, I would have definitely done it. About 7 years ago, I was hiking in AK with my uncle. We came to a place where some icebergs were close to the shore, so I swam out and climbed on them! Super cold, but well worth it : )
Levi that is so freaking excellent that you went on the icebergs! We had a similar situation in Iceland several years ago, but it was in a kind of a lake and we weren't sure if people were allowed to swim out and climb on the icebergs, so we didn't do it. We've always kind of regretted that, and if we had the opportunity again I think we'd go for it just like you did! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard YES, do it!!! Also, wear socks and gloves too. Socks helped with traction, and gloves helped my hands from getting cut up.
Have a great weekend!
@@levicpattersonThanks - you too!
That was a great adventure and funny! It kind of reminds me of the Oak Creek Slide Rock area north of Sedona. I would’ve slid down that waterfall with my GoPro many times too lol!😎
Heck yeah Paul! That waterslide was one of the funnest things ever. It was just fast and scary enough that you wanted to keep going again and again, but not so dangerous that we got hurt (a few scrapes here and there, but nothing bad). Definitely you would have had fun with the GoPro!
Yes! --------- you made me feel good!.
You are helping us stay at home
people get some laughs and
pass some time.
This VIRUS STUFF SCARRY!
for old folks.
Can't wait to go play
some slot machines
when it seems to be safer.
We GAMBLE !
YOU GAMBLE ON FALLING
IN THOSE ROCKS!!!
So true!! ❤️
What a beautiful fun trip! You guys rocked it...I'd of done it for sure!
Yes Bill! We know you would not let us down. There was a small group of people at the bowl just watching us like we were absolutely insane (to be fair, we definitely are). But we just could not convince them to jump in!
All good fun, though I was worried about the boulder jutting out at the bottom of the slide. I have done many gorge walking trips leading groups up and down them and yes the water was very cold indeed. Wetsuits were always worn as we used to be in the water for over an hour and you really had to think about cold water immersion. I use to wear canyoneering boots, drained well, very grippy, and with toe protection. All the best to you both for 2022.
Thanks Iain! You were right to worry about the boulder. That was Adam's main concern too, and just to put your mind at ease he did three different test runs at progressively higher starting points to make absolutely sure we would clear it before we started going from the higher starting point that we filmed from. As for wetsuits, they would have been really nice! But we have been doing 3-5 minute cold plunges after our workouts precisely to prepare ourselves for this kind of thing, and that was extremely helpful. Of course, we still started shivering after we'd been down the slide a dozen or so times, but it definitely prepared our bodies so that at least there was no shock to the system from the cold water. Canyoneering boots sound great -- we're thinking of getting some before we try the Subway in Zion. Hope you have some great adventures in 2022 -- looking forward to sharing lots more of ours with you! ❤️

Спасибо за видео: виды- сказка✅
Haha ya Adam definitely makes some questionable fashion choices 😂. The water was very cold -- probably around 55F -- but it was worth it for all the fun! ❤
This one got me a little emotional so goes my comment. I haven't had so much fun and adrenaline at a computer screen in forever. My great wish for your safety. Thanks for all your sharing. Oh, I've enjoyed the channel for a long time and sure did have fun in the recent Joshua Tree productions.
Aw thank you so much for telling us that! It means a great deal to us that you have been watching us for a long time. We really cherish having people who enjoy seeing the channel grow and evolve. Hopefully one day we’ll be doing adventures all over the world, and you’ll be like “remember that time you guys got lost on San Jacinto?” 😂 You’ll keep us both motivated and humble. Seriously thank you so much for your kind words and support!
Awesome friggin video! You guys are champs for getting into that frigid water slide. Thanks for letting your subscribers know that its safe to slide on haha. Man I cant wait to get back out to SoCal
We're here to serve, Steve 😂 We do wonder what the slide would be like if the water level was even higher in the spring... possibly more dangerous? But probably warmer too. You've definitely got to back back out here. It's a beautiful time of year to be in SoCal!
Hello Adam and Elise!! Ok...this looked like just a really really fun movement! I don't do well in cold water, so I don't know that I would have done the slide. But, I guess of I were there with you...and you were doing it...I would do my herd diligence and head on down!
Wow...this is really a beautiful area!! Thank you so much for sharing your adventure and extremely positive attitude with us!
There is a spot like this in the Wind River Mountains in WY that has a mega water slide like this; it is up by the Green River Lakes and Square Mountain, which is a looonnngggg forest service road in that helps weed out all of the people. When I get home, I will try to remember to find that info and will pass it to you two.
Safe travels!!
PS. Very glad to see you two back in the water!! The swimming on hikes is an awesome addition to the clips!
Alan thank you so much for that tip about the Wind River spot -- we had SO much fun on this that all we could talk about the last few days is where we can find another one like this! Please do let us know the info on it if you remember. Meanwhile, we know you definitely would have gone in the waterfall with us. The cold water was tough, but the fun was way worth it! It is great to be back in the water!

Good Morning!
Bet you are SORE!
Bet you are hungry!
Try some RAISENS For
a small snack !
Going back to bed and
maybe sleep a few hours.
Have a good day today!
I am a baby when it comes to cold water. I would have chickened out at the water slide.
Haha maybe at first, but once you saw us go down it a few times you would have seen how much fun it was and forgotten all about the cold! Of course, if you saw us shivering maybe not...😂
Great video again, it looked you you two had a lot of fun on this one. I've never tried toe socks, but I can see how water shoes could be useful for hiking. They're more flexible than a boot so you can kind of wrap your foot over rocks and roots etc.. plus they're probably the lightest thing you could use other than bare feet.
The waterslide looked like a lot of fun :)
Thank you -- it really was a total blast. The hike itself was beautiful and just challenging enough to keep us focused and entertained. And the waterslide was basically heaven (well, heaven might heat the water up 40 degrees or so). The water shoes worked great for everything except scrambling up slick rocks because they don't have much grip -- but overall, they were pretty perfect for this adventure. ❤️
Fantastic! Looks like you guys had a blast. If you care for an opinion on toe socks: for me, on longer hikes (for example, GC Rim to Rim), simply changing pairs of normal socks worked better. But everyone’s different! On the water slide, I really would have to know what was waiting at bottom (!), I heard the word ‘Boulder’ lol. You guys are killing it, have a great and safe weekend!
Haha yes sending Adam out to explore the bottom was definitely my wisest move of the day! He actually did a series of test runs starting from a few feet up and moving progressively higher just to make sure we would clear that rock overhang, so I actually felt pretty safe by the time I went (but then of course slipped in and all bets were off!). Anyway, glad you enjoyed -- we definitely did have a blast on this one! ❤️ --E
Adam, yes: that was what we were waiting for 🙂 looked like great fun down the waterfall!
Last week, I went snow shoeing in Minneapolis 6 times. We have some great places to snow shoe: Lebanon Hills regional park in Eagan. Murphy's regional park in Salvage, Hyland Park in Bloomington, Hiawatha golf course in Minneapolis. University of MN arboretum in chanhassen. I did all of these locations last week.
Brrrrr... Lol
Dave
Dave that is awesome about the snowshoeing -- love that you showshoed the golf course! We haven't gotten the shoes on yet because all our mountains still have high avalanche danger, but this weekend we're heading up for a snowshoeing adventure in Yosemite. Not sure if we'll be able to complete it because the snow is really deep there, but we're going to give it our best shot. Meanwhile, glad you enjoyed the waterslides, and we'll be thinking of you when we slap those snowshoes on!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard thank you for all the great tips during your adventure videos here!
I bought my pair of retrospec snow shoes online at Scheels and paid $59.99 or $20 off retail price. Shipping was free to my front step. I really like them because they are really fast and easy to put on.
Also, to start, I bought 2 Nordic poles from Menards for $25 total. Lol. If I get to more challenging trails in the mountains someday, I'll get some better ones.
The slide reminded me of Slide Rock near Sedona just with colder water and less people haha. You guys certainly brave some treacherous terrain so we can enjoy the awesome views. Thank you!
We've never heard of Slide Rock but we do love Sedona and that sound fun! (But we'd probably try to find some way to do it without the crowds...maybe in winter when nobody wants to jump in!) Glad you enjoyed the adventure!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard definitely love sedona as well. Slide Rock is not a rugged or hard to get to place at all. It has it’s own lot and many families or kids are there. So the winter time is probably better!
Hey guys what a great location! I've never heard of it before. I think the best part of the video is the POV water sliding! What a great adventure. I hiked up to Black Star Canyon Falls in OC last week and I think it was about 1/5 of the challenge, and it had plenty of boulder scrambling, so I can relate to the exertion. Cheers!
Thanks David! Glad you liked the water sliding -- we had an absolute blast on that waterfall. We've heard of Black Star Canyon Falls before but didn't know it had boulder scrambling -- we need to get down there and do it some time! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard The trailhead is a dirt road for about 3 miles then another mile up the canyon to the falls, which gets pretty sketchy right away. If you google the area, you'll see there is another trail leading down to the falls from a road above. It might be possible to scramble or bushwhack up to that trail and then run all the way back down to the beginning for maybe a 12+ mile total, although I have not heard of this being done. Black Star Canyon has rumors of all sorts of supernatural events. If you google it you will find weird stories about ghosts and other things. Might be a good place to try out! I think a long sufferfest loop in that area could be done.
@@davidparker1746 Oh heck yes! Sufferfest and ghosts? This is going to happen!!! ❤
This is Ben. I'm loving this
one. A good one for my
break from so much
MARS and Elon Musk stuff.
Love the Rocks, Boulders, trees.
Better then seeing MARS.
YOU TAKE US ON GOOD TRIPS.
THANK YOU!!
Ben so glad you liked this one! We totally agree with you -- Mars doesn't even have any water, so we'd way rather do this hike! ❤️
You two are inspirational. Love your videos. This video reminds me of being in the Laurel Highlands in my younger days. Meadow Run near Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania has tons of water slides like this. (Much easier hiking though.) In the spring snowmelt they were lots of fun. And the water was ice cold.
Wow Gerald that sounds so fun at Meadow Run! We honestly didn't even know that places like this existed -- it was our first ever waterfall slide. But now we're definitely going to start seeking them out. Meanwhile, we're delighted that you're enjoying the videos -- we've got lots of exciting stuff planned for 2022, so hopefully we'll keep you well entertained! ❤️
I've done it in Sequoia on the kaweah river super cold but rewarding
YO HONESTLY TBH THE #TOESHOEWATERSOCKGANG IS PRETTY LIT. YOU GUYS SHOULD HIKE EL CAJON AND EL CAPITAN IT IS SUCH A FUN DAY AND SO PRETTY OMG
Thanks Garry -- we'd love to get down to that area, and definitely plan to do it sooner rather than later! ❤️
This is so exciting!! Ahh
Sandy Tam! Ha, this one was such a fun adventure. Miss you and hope you're doing awesome ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Miss you, but feel like I'm catching up with your life when I get a peek into your awesome adventures. Warm hugs to you and the whole family!
You guys are amazing and should have way more subscribers. I’m going to work on that for you.
Thank you so much, Kristy! That means a lot to us, and we're really grateful for your kindness and support! ❤️
You two should do a hike out on Santa Cruz Island in the Channel Islands National Park. So many cool places. I've been out there in February and it's nice hiking weather.
Brennan that is a fantastic idea. We've been talking about both Catalina and the Channel Islands. Just need to get it organized. Thank you for the tip about February -- that might be the time! ❤️
Omg toe socks!!! How come I NEVER thought of those?! I've had some annoying blisters during our trip to(e) The Dolomites and had to wrap every single toe with band aids....😢next year, TOE SOCKS IT IS. You know what looks worse? Toe shoes😂a colleague of mine had those and I could not stop laughing.
Oh my gosh Annie, you must do the toe socks. Since I started wearing them I never get blisters, even on epic sufferfests. I generally wear them underneath a pair of Darn Tough regular socks, so two layers, and it works like magic. Though they work well on their own too -- I wear only the toe socks with no extra layer when using approach shoes, and I still never blister. ❤️ --A
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Those socks are the invention of the century 😍 came across your channel a while ago, when I searched for video's taken in The Dolomites. Since then I watch you both during you current and previous adventures. It all looks so great including the toe socks🦶🏼
@@Annieriannie So happy you found us -- and that you got to rock the Dolomites!!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard 🩷🩷
the first punch bowl is like 13 feet deep now LOL
Oh my gosh! I wonder what it was like right after all those torrential rains!! ❤️
Always an epic adventure with you two. What kind of toe socks do you wear btw? I usually end up with irritation between my toes after a long hike and those sound like they would be great!
They really are great, Steve. I wear Injinji toe socks -- the slightly thicker ones for runners rather than the liner ones. There should be a link to them on our gear page. They are a bit pricey, but totally worth it!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Excellent! Definitely going to pick up a couple pairs! Thanks! 😊
So glad you liked it -- we definitely had a great time making it! ❤️
I’d go down the waterfall!
So much fun & a great video?
But…No snack break??? LOL🤣😂
Thanks for sharing adventures!
Would love to see you go down that waterfall slide Debbie! Also would want to know how could you would get 😂 I know I know, can't believe we didn't include our snack spot. We had a pretty good one too dangling our feet off a rock over the roaring river, but Adam felt it wasn't quite vertiginous enough haha! His standards are really high...
@@LiveHardxLoveHard haha, oh no, not that particular waterfall.
So Awesome guys!! just can't believe it's that warm there..you guys seem to hiking in almost Summer gear/wear? What were the temps that day?
That’s definitely why we feel lucky to live here! It started cold but warmed up to the high 60s/low 70s later in the day which felt just glorious once the sun hit the canyon! (Even with that tho there’s no lying that the water was FREEZING!)
Ohh! Be CAREFUL!
Haha don't worry Ben, you know how we do it -- careful but not too careful! ❤️
You guys have got to do Matilija falls while you're in the area!
Thanks so much for that recommendation, Madison! We didn't even know about Matilija falls until you told us, but we just now looked it up and it looks awesome. We will definitely be doing that one at some point! ❤️
So great to see you guys having so much fun! 😄👍
But please never over-do it - we don't wanna see sad hospital-videos from you, ok? 😅
Keep on rocking the trails! 🍀
Thanks so much, Andre, and we definitely hear you about not overdoing it. We probably stayed in that cold water for too long and might have risked some hypothermia. But in our defense, it was SO freaking fun!!! Every time we thought we were too cold to keep going, Adam would climb back up and go one more time, just shouting and laughing like little kid. So we still need to work a bit on moderation, and we will definitely keep on rocking the trails! ❤️
Ok, I was more scared about one of you sliding into that rock on the right side, but maybe it wasn't that close like it appears on camera.
As long as you stay reasonable, I am satisfied 😜
@@IGE278 Thanks Andre!
Keep going to the back to Jackson Halls.
You also missed Cross Camp. Carved cross from the Catholics in the 1800’s.
Thanks Joshua! We didn't even know about them but just looked them up, and will def to both of them next time. It's a great reason to go back for an even bigger adventure! ❤️
How cool, my sister raved about this for months so i drove up and we did it Dec 26th after a night of heavy rain. Most folks turned around at the first crossing, it was shocking how much water was there. Unfortunately, we didn't find out there was more past the main falls until we were halfway back... another hiker mentioned it. I do plan to return to see the "4th pool he mentioned" it was an amazing place. If i could only get my sister to hike earlier in the morning we would have more time. We barely got back to the parking lot at 4 pm. At least now i see what i missed. Thanks for the recon :) To answer your question about swimming it was a heck no. Just too cold for me. Also, that flow looked like about as much as you would want if sliding down, you looked really close to the rocks toward the bottom. Would more flow have made that too sketchy?
BTW, we got lost also and spent a good hour+ bushwhacking at a snail's pace. It did add to the adventure though. We tried to avoid water crossing #3 by going up river to look for a dry crossing.... big mistake. You just need to plan to get wet on this one... bring extra shoes and or socks.
Andrew thanks so much for telling us that! We were feeling pretty stupid for getting off trail and having to bushwhack as much as we did, but it's good to hear that it happened to you as well. It's just tough to navigate that area in some places. We think you are right about the flow speed of the waterfall. Adam's head was really close to that overhanging rock even as it was. If he'd been going any faster he probably would have bonked it. But with that said ... SO fun! We think you should definitely go back maybe in summer when it's hot and give it a try! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard My slip into the creek was far less graceful and thank god no one was there to get it on video. You could almost say yours was intentional because you didn't seem to surprised. I swear I heard a few forest creatures laughing when I slipped.
