3rd stop of the day. Nice little Trail out of Treasure Park Campground that meanders alongside one Creek, before joining up with Big Creek for the rest of the Hike. We had the choice of continuing to follow the Trail itself to an Overlook that would take you around so that you can see the Big Creek Falls, or just hopping off the Trail where the Creek really starts flowing through the Slick Rock on it's way to the Big Fall. We opted to follow the Creek and although the Water was very low, there was some very Scenic little Falls and Cascades. We arrived at the spot where the Creek takes the plunge over the Cliff and Chad showed me where the Overlook was located and also a possible Route down to the base of the Falls. There was so little Water running, that I decided to not take the time to go down to the bottom, or the Overlook. I'm sure that when that Creek is really flowing well, the Falls are absolutely spectacular and I will repeat this Hike to see that!!!!

Nice little Gem of a Hike. This will be a repeater for me when the Water is better!!!
