About this audio guide
This guide to the Eaton Canyon Falls Trail in Los Angeles's San Gabriel foothills follows the informal path hikers have worn above the main pool in search of a second, hidden waterfall, and the toll it has taken, including the 2013 death of seventeen-year-old Esther Suen. It traces the rescues rangers have carried out on the loose shale slope and the warnings that a route so many treat as safe truly is not. John Muir called the falls in front of you a charming little thing, with a low, sweet voice, singing like a bird, when he passed through in 1877.
