From the King’s River Overlook parking area, the firsthand account follows the old road behind the gate, crossing several small creeks to a clearing and an informal path descending toward Eagle’s Nest Falls. The waterfall spur is not the overlook trail itself. The base route follows bluffs and a creek break; stay outside caves, which AGFC closes to public access.
