Hike Description:
Hike the old road on past the gate. In about 0.4 miles, the road passes through a wildlife clearing.
After the clearing, the road ends at a tributary. Don't cross, turn right and follows the tributary upstream to the waterfall.
The rock house behind the waterfall is quite impressive.
