Culvert under Highway 6

From parking it’s easy to go a short way into the Canyon

Steep south access to left of sign, but we’ll take the easier route

Walk south down the Highway. Trail begins here.

After walking about 100 m level…

…take this trail branching on the left up a slope

Climb to a small valley; in Spring, water runs down this part of the trail

Ascend this wonderful little valley

From here you can hear the roar of the Falls

Where the two trails cross

Steep descent to base of largest waterfall, but we’ll first go up higher, then come back

Bit of a scramble over debris

View of largest waterfall

Narrow gap across canyon

Trees fallen into creek: the forest on the steep eastern side is in transition

Old stream channels show interesting weathering patterns

Turning back, we now go down to the base of the largest waterfall

The largest waterfall

Wildlife crosses the creek here and ascends this steep slope!

The moss, light green as here in August, darkens in the wetter season

The way we descended to the creek viewed from the other side

Downwards from pool at base of largest waterfall

Going back up the draw
