Hike Description:
Hike through the ranch to Cow Creek Trail and follow the creek upstream.
It's about 3 miles to the waterfall. It gets steeper towards the end and there's some nice cascades on Cow Creek.
The last stretch is narrow and rocky and leads to the base of the waterfall.
This is a good waterfall to see a rainbow.
