Description

Be ready to be wowed at all the waterfalls on this trail. Be ready for a nice vertical gain and remember to bring a camera for the great photo ops of the waterfalls. Hikers may encounter uphill bike traffic, but there are no horses allowed on this trail.

Looks like this trail could use some love! If you know it, add a description.
