This episode is about our short day hike to visit the Tenaja Falls and Fisherman's Camp in the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness of the Cleveland National Forest.  Dave and I enjoy the brilliant sunshine and unusually warm January temperatures to hike up the Tenaja Falls Trail.

With a drop of 140 feet, Tenaja Falls is one of the most scenic vistas along the Santa Ana Mountain range.  Timing is a big factor to view this waterfall at its grandeur and we made the hike just a few weeks after a large storm dumps 15 inches of rain into Southern California.

Fisherman's Camp is just a few miles off a spur trail from the Tenaja Falls Trail so Dave and I made the side trip to visit this historic fishing destination.
