Description
The Berry Creek Falls Trail starts at a junction with the Skyline to the Sea Trail. You immediately see Berry Creek Falls through the trees and then hike to a popular viewing platform for the falls. From the platform, climb the cliff next to Berry Creek Falls and enter a lush redwood canyon. Some more hiking takes you to Silver Falls. Climb the steep stairs carved into the rock to get to the top of Silver Falls and then hike a short distance to Golden Cascade. The trail ends at the junction with the Sunset Trail.
