Eaton Canyon, a classic canyoneering adventure located just north of downtown Los Angeles, will soon be closed to the public. The decision was made by the National Forest in reaction to countless injuries and deaths occurring at the final lower waterfalls. Although nearly all of the accidents occurred by non-canyoneers, hikers who are ascending a sketchy use-trail, the closure also effects canyoneers descending from the upper canyon.

If you’re interested to find out more about the closure, please check out the Coalition of American Canyoneers – here.

Good-bye Eaton Canyon
