- Fire road, then a marked multi-use trail with creek crossings. Rock scrambling to reach the falls.
From the parking lot in Laguna Mountain Campground, follow the fire road for about half a mile, then the marked Trail L1 along Laguna Creek into the gorge in Miller Canyon, about 2.5 miles. Near the end of the trail, a series of small waterfalls and pools lies below in the gorge; reaching them needs rock scrambling. The article does not give coordinates for the falls, so the match to this mapped point is probable, not confirmed. Return the same way.
