About This Trail

Imported description

The hike is a mile across the desert on a well-defined trail. When you get to the first tree, turn 90 degrees to your right and walk about 100 feet to the hidden waterfall. There is a path to the top of the fall. It takes some scrambling to reach the base of the waterfall.
