Located on a Methodist Camp (Alta Mons) and open to the public to hike for free. Some days are off limits due to camp. Check their website. This is a pretty easy hike, although rocky in a few areas.
Love this so much. So peaceful!!
Beautiful setting, moderately challenging hike. You’re probably gonna get your feet wet in the creek crossings and take bug spray!!!!
Nice trail. About a mile of walking down a gravel road to get to it. You have to cross the creek 3 times. It had been raining a few days before we went so no way to cross without getting wet. Looked like there could be a dry crossing if the water wasn’t up.
Certain areas are iffy but a good challenge. A little difficult with a hunting bread dog.
this was an incredible hike to a beautiful waterfall!! I went with a group of friends at the beginning of June and the water was quite refreshing, the hike was pretty easy, and we were in and back by lunch time.
