The waterfall trail is a fun and interesting hike, offering nice views, a relatively easy walk, petroglyphs, and a chance to see some wildlife along the way. The box canyon at the top sometimes contains a waterfall, sometimes just a spring fed pool, and sometimes it dries up completely. It’s always an entertaining trip though! Come along with Ranger Shaun and let’s see what we find today!
This is an approximately 2-mile hike on an easy rated trail. The first half mile is sidewalk. Water bottles and closed toe shoes required. Restrooms and water will be available at the trailhead. No pets please.
