Hike Description

  2. Follow the stream about 25 feet on the right to the top of a small waterfall. There is a series of cascades that descend about 80 feet into a gorge. It’s a beautiful area to explore, but use caution around the falls and steep, rocky areas.
  3. Turn around and retrace your steps back to the parking area.
