A wonderful place to relax and enjoy your day on the trail. You can see the amount of water that can be in there at times.

Description
Starting at the Douglas Springs Trailhead, take the Douglas Springs Trail for 2.9 miles to Bridal Wreath Falls. A roadrunner crossed our path just as we left the trailhead. We did this in January so there were a few shallow creek crossings to get to the falls. Bridal Wreath Falls has an upper and lower falls. You can hike close into the lower falls if you don't mind some rock hopping. It's definitely worth it. After visiting the falls head back on the Douglas Springs Trail to Three Tank Trail. Continue on Three Tank Trail where you'll get to a giant metal tank at the Carrillo Trail crossing. Cross the creek and continue on Three Tank Trail heading east towards Wildhorse Trail. Take Wildhorse Trail for half a mile to Garwood Trail. Then follow Garwood Trail back to Douglas Springs to the trailhead.
