Hike Description:
Walk 100 feet or so further up the road to a grassy pull off that's probably not big enough for a car to get completely off the road. Cross the guard rail and descend a couple hundred feet to the creek. It's very steep but there's enough a path that it's not hard to follow. As you approach the creek, there's a drop to the right (upstream) that is visible through the trees.
It's a nice drop, but not the waterfall. Go left and follow the creek downstream a short ways to the waterfall.
The last bit to get down to the creek is extremely steep. The best views are from the other side of the creek and its possible to rock hop even in very high water.
