 This is post I put on a hiking site about how our trip went. July 19th & 20th 2015 - Angeles National Forest What an adventure Jackson (9) and I hiked Bear Canyon Trail thur Switzer Falls on July 19th, 2015 with Keri and Evan (9) this would be the boys first overnight backpacking trip. We got to Bear Canyon Campground around 4:00pm setup camp and cooked our dinner.   Around 6:00pm the rain started coming down we quickly got in our tents and settled in. We heard a thundering sound coming from the river I looked out the small window to see a flash flood of water coming down the river toppling over trees and plants. This lasted for about an hour then turned into a small storm with the river finally going down but not passable. The night passed with falling rocks coming off the mountain side and dead tree limbs crashing in the forest. The next morning about 6am we quickly ate and checked for a little bit of blue sky so we could hike back out without the risk of anoth
