GENERAL
INFORMATION
-
This trail
meanders primarily along dense riparian vegetation with occasional
vista breaks. The trail is 6+ miles round trip and is rated moderate
to difficult. This trail is best in the spring when wild flowers are
abundant and water levels are high. Be cautious of poison oak, which
prevails throughout the canyon year round. Follow the creek down
stream to see two small water falls, the second cascading in front
of a 70 foot deep cave.
