Description
The parking lot is on the south side of Forest Road 65 and it's not marked. The beginning of the trail is also unmarked so you'll have to hunt for it on the north side of the road about 100 feet west of the parking lot. The hike is a very short but moderately steep downhill to the viewing platform. At the platform, you'll see the main creek falls and two spring fed falls along the side. Enjoy!
