About This Trail

Imported description

The Widow's Creek Trail had a gradual slope at first. The trail split into two, with the Widow's Creek Trail heading to campsites and the MST heading to the wilderness. The slope jumps up quickly and is steep for a long time. It begins to level off after a while. It is easier to go down than it is to go up. It's a good idea to stop at the waterfall when you get to the bottom.
