Description
On Schooleys Mountain Road next to the trailhead, there is the parking lot for a few cars. The trail is unmaintained. Hike over the bridge and follow the blue mark. The trail is short and steep with small rocks and roots. There are two picnic tables on the trail. One of the tables is next to the waterfall. Be very careful when you hike down as it is easy to slide and fall over on small rocks.
