About This Trail

Imported description

This trail requires canyoning. It is in an area with poison oak. You can explore the Poison Creek waterfall at Jump Creek. The east side of Jump Creek was burned by a range fire. The fire that burned off theCheat Grass and down to Jump Creek is now visible from the east side. The fire appeared to be on the east side of the creek. Go east on the Poison Creek Grade Road and then west on the two track road to the waterfall. The road to the falls is on a side hill. The waterfall has a low flow, it can be different depending on the season. The fall is 30 feet high and should have a lot more flow in the spring. The Poison Ivy is thick and perfect for rattlesnakes.
