Hike to The Garden of Eden - Santa Cruz, CA

Ойын-сауық

The Garden of Eden near Santa Cruz is said To be the best water hole in the area. It needs your help! I've never seen it like this. Graffiti and trash now line the hike and the Garden of Eden itself. This is a spectacular area. No trash cans in the area so make sure you pack in your trash. People are also getting hurt here by cliff jumping and what not. 1 year 12 people got air lifted outta here. This spot is best visited on the off seasons, where it tends to be MUCH less visited.

    Thank you! I just moved to CA and I’m loving your videos. Trash in the forests are insane here in CA. In Michigan there was never trash, or debris on trails, or state parks. That was a bit of a shock to us. It’s pretty disheartening, which is why we take our own trash bags and pick up other peoples trash along the way.

    Thanks! That's so great you do that! There's a lot of trash free areas but unfortunately this beautiful area is getting overwhelmed. Hopefully enough positive people and information will help. 🙂

    The number of people who seem to think it's okay to toss used tissues on or right beside the trail is infuriating. I don't know if it's clueless tourists or just sheer number of people guarantees just enough bad apples.

    That’s a terrific well-made video but given that much of the San Lorenzo Valley is still on septic tanks, some commentary about health risks is appropriate. The risks may be minor today or they may be major but water quality and the levels of pathogens deserves some mention.

    Yeah I waded through on Buckeye Trail last week and it was NOT a great smell! Same for the Junction up in Boulder Creek. A healthy septic wouldn't be a problem, but people let them crack and degrade so raw sewage leaks out.

    I remember going to GOE and there was no trash no people no graffiti and awesome fishing. What happened? Has the environmental movement had the opposite affect on our youth? Especially in Santa Cruz! I don’t get it.

    I hadn't been in years and it was shocking!! I initially was going to do a fun hiking video. I quickly changed it to bring to people's attention what is happening to this place. I hope positive changes can be made. Very sad.
