Talk:Eaton Canyon

Search and Rescue and Fatalities
L. A. County Sheriff's Offices are constantly sending AIR-5 airships to Eaton for rescues, and we had another fatality last week. Eaton Canyon has had so many fatalities every year that LACounty has issued a number of videos asking people to stay on the trail, and the signs that they put up keep getting removed by malicious people who apparently want people to die on the trail.

The article here would be improved by adding details about the numerous fatalities in the past few years with links to AIR-5 rescues and such. Maybe when High School students Google search Eaton Canyon and the Falls, WikiPedia's entry here will warn them about the fatal hazards of leaving the trail.

If nobody else undertakes the effort to update the article here, I will. Damotclese (talk) 19:24, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Deaths
I'm not sure this section is needed. --evrik (talk) 22:57, 15 September 2020 (UTC) This is a partial list of deaths on this trail.
 * Aug 2011 Erwin Molina - He attempted to climb and fell 30 feet from the top of Eaton Canyon Falls, first waterfall, onto rocks below, and died in the hospital.
 * August 2012 Christian Funes - He attempted to climb and fell 150 feet from the upper waterfall, and died.
 * August 2011 John Jutiyasantayanon - He attempted to climb and fell 50 feet from the waterfall.
 * March 2013 Esther Suen - She attempted to climb and fell 200 feet from the upper waterfall and died.

Edgar McGregor
Would this be relevant?: A guy called Edgar McGregor cleaned up the place on his own since 2019. See: https://www.npr.org/2021/03/08/974901455/climate-change-activist-spends-589-days-and-counting-picking-up-litter-in-calif
