Went to Eaton canyon for the long weekend and was hoping not to get heatstroke with temp going as high as 105F during this weekend. It was pretty OK since we went quite early at 8 am and this was an easy hike of around 3Miles (round trip) which took us around less than 1.5 Hours.

The trail going there was pretty much open until you reach the bridge (you actually have to go under the bridge and follow the path of the creek towards the falls), and then it's pretty shaded but this is only around 25% of the route, wish it was a bit longer.

The Falls itself was pretty small. Probably, because it is summer that is why there was not much water. I prepared my swim wear but only saw dogs swimming around. Water was really very shallow.  At any rate, this hike was pretty EASY.

Lake Elsinore Walker Canyon Live Camera

By JC -
It's been really hard finding the live camera for Walker Canyon at Lake Elsinore so that I can check out if there is super bloom. Alas, they have one this year (2023) but the city decides to close it for safety reasons. I guess you can just see it from the Live Camera :( http://63.42.216.178:8088/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

Transportation: Use Oyster Card Traveling by Tube/Tram/Buses Visitor Oyster Card Make sure you use the oyster card  or visit oyster card, there is a deposit of 5 pounds, but you can refund that later on.  The good thing is that it caps daily, weekly , and monthly  . Apparently, oyster card does not cap weekly - you have to explicitly  purchase a 7 day travel card for the oyster.  One day is around 8 pounds and 7 days is around 32 pounds plus 5 pounds deposit for the card, which you can refund later. Otherwise, top it up for 7 days or monthly. You can buy it in convenience stores/shops and the tube stations. You can get a visitor oyster card, see here for details Traveling by Train This really depends but you can get an annual gold card to get discount on train tickets, otherwise, you can also get the weekly or monthly pass.
