Hike Description:
Bluff Trail starts at the end of the parking lot heading east. Immediately, a spur to the right leads up St. Louis Canyon and ends at the base of the waterfall.
St. Louis Canyon Falls is spring fed, so there is usually at least some water, but it's reduced to a trickle in dry conditions.
