Hike Description:
From the parking area, take the Bluff Trail heading east towards Wildcat Canyon. After passing French Canyon and Pontiac Canyon, the trail will come out at an overlook above the waterfall.
There's another overlook on the other side and a look set of stairs down to the base of the canyon.
Like all the waterfalls in the park, this one is reduced to a trickle in dry conditions.
