Video: Avoid Eaton Canyon's Upper Waterfalls

This public service video was made by multiple county agencies to try to convince people not to attempt the climb to the upper falls in Eaton Canyon.

Following an increase in deaths and hiking accidents over the past year in Eaton Canyon, county officials created this public service video.

The video warns that despite Internet postings and word-of-mouth, there is no safe trail to get to the upper waterfalls in Eaton Canyon.

Clips of steep inclines, dramatic cliffs and rescue team members performing dangerous helicopter rescues are interspersed with warnings from officials about attempting to reach the upper falls.
