Eaton Canyon received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

A fact from Eaton Canyon appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 June 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in 1877 naturalist John Muir described the waterfall in Eaton Canyon (pictured) as "a charming little thing, with a low, sweet voice, singing like a bird, as it pours from a notch in a short ledge, some thirty or forty feet into a round mirror-pool"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/June.

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)[reply]
