I...No I did not know this. I'll check into it.<br /><br />I was trying to get a hold of the local helicopter tour group to find out if they could get me up to that falls after a good rain. <br /><br />My only thought was that the condor issue might prevent them. If so, I am completely behind that. <br /><br />I'd still like to see that puppy from a few hundred feet.<br /><br />Cheers.alan sailerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956791098050035921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104407556476191365.post-54507611759309999572011-04-08T13:32:24.076-07:002011-04-08T13:32:24.076-07:00Thanks for the link.

Maybe you already know, but the picture on the Ojai S&R page of the helicopter in front of a huge waterfall is this same waterfall during the 2005 storms. I agree that the Bear Heaven falls are probably the tallest falls "visible" in the Ventura Los Padres. I think it's definitely taller then Rose Valley Falls. There are two seasonal falls along the Sespe west of Pigeon Flat that I think might be taller. However like Bear Heaven they only flow after it rains, and due to there remote location I don't think anyone other then the S&R helicopter guys get to see them.Ventura County Canyoneering https://www.blogger.com/profile/06413374115690933572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104407556476191365.post-66244316450751667602011-04-08T13:15:38.762-07:002011-04-08T13:15:38.762-07:00Thanks for the trip description.

If you are curious, I got a nice picture of that darn Bear Heaven temporary falls a few months ago. <br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/8763834@N02/5552164528/<br /><br />Based on some triangulation, the thing is over 200 feet tall. I am not sure how waterfalls are measured, but it has got to be a local record.alan sailerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956791098050035921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104407556476191365.post-10628136260457052772011-03-29T16:28:50.968-07:002011-03-29T16:28:50.968-07:00bear heaven falls looks insane!!bear heaven falls looks insane!!Jeremiah Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797228602258507255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104407556476191365.post-88161649519459196742011-01-03T15:15:12.994-08:002011-01-03T15:15:12.994-08:00That old road has since deteriorated into a mildly...That old road has since deteriorated into a mildly overgrown trail. The Green Cabins site has been reclaimed by the chaparral. If I remember correctly I think the old road gets discussed in The Sespe Wild by Bradley Monsma.

I have an old map fragment that annotates it this way. In 1987 the Forest Service sent a letter proposing the use of this route as an "official" means of access to the Lower Sespe. I still have the letter. It appears nothing ever came of it. Anyway, great trip report.EMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167561754053134166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104407556476191365.post-75047420801153554712010-12-31T14:28:02.082-08:002010-12-31T14:28:02.082-08:00Looks like a great trip, EP.
