Public Service Video on Avoiding Eaton Canyon Climb (Video)
The following video was made by multiple agencies in Los Angeles County to try to convince people not to try to climb to the upper falls in Eaton Canyon.
The video includes a young woman on a day hike in Eaton Canyon who found herself clutching the side of a cliff.
Authorities warn not to believe the information being spread through social media about a "so-called safe hike to a second waterfall around Eaton Canyon.''
There is no developed trail leading up to the top of Eaton Falls, according to a news release by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. It is a rugged natural area in the Angeles National Forest. People have died or become seriously injured by climbing, in attempts to continue farther up the canyon.
