@whimsysoul: day 4 proving California is the best state ⬇️ 💦 i discovered this secret swimming hole in Calavears a couple years before we bought our @Whimsy Homes Cabin and ngl, the fact this spot was just 25 mins away from the cabin was 100% one of the reasons we bought it. Natural Bridges is this insanely cool cave that has a river running through it. Bring a floatie since you'll want to be able to float from one side to the other (you can totally swim it, but the middle where it's dark is kinda scary without a floatie lol) Also wear sturdy water shoes since the cave is slippery! I love my @Teva Footwear I take them on all my adventures. Just writing this post makes me want to drive back up to this cave and go swimming again. It's truly so special. Add this California swimming hole to your bucket list and follow me for Day 5... #swimminghole #california #calaverascounty #norcal #bayarea #visitcalifornia
if you're reading this PLEASE pick up the garbage!

Lived in California my whole life. There’s deserts, mountain ranges, and the ocean all within like 2 hours. No doubt we live in the best state :)

The road now has 2 ft wide red ‘no parking’ stripes for a mile each way. Prepare for a big hot walk for basically a stream going through a small cave.

Its gappening all over these batural places. People make videos, and soon too many people come than the place can support- with parking, roads, garbage, crowds, pollution in water (sunscreen etc), etc. It’s irresponsible at this point to make videos. It is the opposite of “leave no trace” ethics. Those of us who live near to these places see the impact.

It gets super crowded. There’s another cave about a half a mile down the creek.

It’s not a secret now that social media has ruined it. My first time there was 1976. It’s small with a long downhill and uphill hike. Poison oak!! Parking is almost none!!
