| no partners | | We saw this place on instagram and decided to check it out. There was a nice paved parking lot with bathrooms at the start of the hike. At the beginning of the trail there where picnic tables not far from the creek. I did not see the water wheel on my arrival, but decided we would look for it on the way out. I saw a lot of lizards all over, but no rattle snakes (my wife was happy about that). The creek had a nice flow and the area is fairly green.
The fist thing that caught my eye was Mini Gorge with the waterfall coming down. As we made our way to the top of the gorge my wife made sure to hold my sons hand very tight. I noticed an eye hook for people who like to repel. I think repelling down would be fun and is something I have never had the pleasure of doing. 
We made our way up the creek to a spot where the water was flowing down the rock like a mini slide rock. My son tried to slide down it, but the rock was not slick enough. He still enjoyed it!
We finally made our way to the waterfall that runs into a nice pool for swimming. There is a wooden log with steps carved into it. The water was too cold for me to swim in, but maybe I'm just a chicken. My son had fun wading around in the shallow pools. We went to the top of the falls and saw a "no trespassing" sign and a fence at the top. They also painted a 4x6ft portion of the rocks "no trespassing". No being able to continue on, we had a picnic at the waterfall and relaxed for a while.
We packed our stuff up and some trash that others had left and headed back down. Almost back at the beginning of hike, we finally found the old water wheel and took some pictures before heading to the car. Overall a great day for the family! |
