Rick Henry: Train Trestle Falls (2019)

From the signed OHT crossing near the Ragtown parking clearing, follow the OHT east. The trail eventually descends in switchbacks to the waterfall’s tributary. From that crossing, the firsthand account follows the creek a short distance downstream to the old trestle pillars above the falls. Return the same way; the steep base descent is excluded.
