- Downhill track, creek crossing and informal creekside path; uphill return. Shared ATV terrain and wet rocks require care.
Rick Henry describes walking the ATV track downhill, crossing the creek and following the informal path downstream past the upper waterfall. Continue beside the bluff until the slope reaches creek level, then return upstream to the main falls; the earlier narrow crack is unnecessary.
