Description

This short but steep trail highlights Stephen's Falls and the sandstone outcroppings that are iconic in Governor Dodge State Park. The first portion is paved, though there are steps down to the falls themselves. This trail intersects with the Lost Canyon Trail near the beginning and again at the end. Dark blue trail markers designate this route.
