Description
From South Falls, the trail winds along the South Fork Silver Creek. About 0.8 miles in, it descends some steep stairs to Lower South Falls. The trail turns east at the junction with Maple Ridge Trail and parallels the North Fork Silver Creek as it ascends through the forest reaching the Lower North Falls which you can hike behind. From here, in rapid succession the trail passes the turn off for Double Falls, Drake Falls and Middle North Falls. After passing the turn to Winter Trail, you'll reach Twin Falls, and lastly North Falls just before the trail terminates at Rim Trail.
