Santa Ynes Falls

My old, good friend Yoko Kato invited Edie and I to go hiking with her and her friend Dean up to Ynes Falls in Topanga State Park in Topanga Canyon. It was a great, fun hike and a good workout. The weather was perfect and we got to climb up about 3 or 4 rope climbs over some cliffs on the falls.

It was really gorgeous from within the ravine.



Here I am spottinge Edie on her climb up one of the many ropes.

Finally, we find our limit of possibilities.

You can see it's a tight fit.



Lunch!
