Add to My List Check Off

Starting near Brice Creek Trail’s eastern terminus, the first half of this trail climbs through a forested landscape into the upper portion of Trestle Creek. After 1.5 miles, the trail enters a lush fern grotto and passes behind the upper segment of a 65-foot, two-tiered waterfall. Passing behind the waterfall in the springtime when the falls are at its highest flow is a remarkable experience. The remaining mile of trail descends back through forest towards Brice Creek Trail.
