Description
This trail starts at the bridge on the Gibson Jack trail that crosses the North Fork as it feeds into the main creek. Right before the bridge, there is a trail that spurs off. There is a sign that indicates this trail is for foot and horse traffic only (no motorized vehicles or bikes). This trail has numerous boardwalks and bridges, as it crosses the creek and other marshy areas along the canyon bottom. It really is a wet, lush, environment. Very unusual for a high desert! The trail goes up the canyon for over a mile, before it starts to fade out. In the future, it might be developed more, but for now it is just a nice peaceful out and back.
