About This Trail

Imported description

Three mile jeep road with spur trails and three waterfalls. The Falls are made of thin strands of pearls after the rains. The road gives access to a privately owned tract for vehicles that are not permitted on the road. The amphitheater atop limestone bluffs has inspiring views of the surrounding hollows and canyons. Spur trails created by horses are not maintained. There are many spur trails to the waterfalls.
