Finally (and most fun of all), last Saturday, we went on a hike to the waterfall in Tujunga Canyon, which is about 30 minutes from our apartment. Despite common belief, there are some pretty beautiful places in Southern California. As you can see in the pictures and videos below, we had a lot of fun, and it was very picturesque. Some fun quirks about this trip included: not getting a "Forest Adventure Pass" before we drove out there (so we had to drive back out to the 7-11 and get one), Mark trying the double-diamond crossing section of the stream and falling in right as I happened to be taking a picture of him (he really just lost his balance), Nate thinking that the dried-up "waterfall" we passed partway up was the actual waterfall we were heading to...good thing we kept going just for fun, all of Nate's personal effects falling out of his pocket into the stream as we were trying to dry off (Mark got hero of the day for chasing and rescuing a couple of paper objects that happened to be his Metro Pass!), etc. It was great fun all-in-all :)
