Welcome To Beautiful SoCal

Thank you for visiting the Beautiful SoCal site. As native Southern Californians we have grown up observing, exploring and sometimes taking for granted the natural and man-made sights and sounds of the lower half of the golden state.

It is with this in mind we have decided to start documenting and sharing as much of these beautiful sights as possible. To allow people to virtually visit beautiful places in California without leaving the house.

We are constantly striving to improve our film making, editing and presentation formats so stick around if you like what you see. The best is yet to come.

Continue up hwy 39 past the east fork bridge, San Gabriel OHV area and the west fork / Cogswell damn parking lot to enter North Fork.

Filmed in the lower section of north fork, this area contains picnic tables and plenty of pools to cool off in on a hot summer day, try your luck fishing or just relax next to the well shaded stream.
