About This Trail

Imported description
It is a good hike to the waterfall. There's more than just meadow, pine and aspen forest on the hike. It will allow you to get a good look at Mt An-tero and even see the creek, via log bridges. As per the quote below, the parts of the trail that are sandy are going to be dusty and so will likely waste energy on the ground. Excellent choice to hike a small amount of time. The path flattens out as the first half goes on and winds up just across the falls. The trail is easy to follow, but tourists should be aware of a slight sign to the falls. It's the same as before but the fire restrictions are more common for the area.
