Trails begin at the bend in the road. Parking area along the road. Look up into the canyon for a classic vignette view of California coastal canyon watershed. Forested slopes of the Santa Lucia, rocky buttes, and sounds of life gurgling and chirping. Take the trail to the right as you face the waterfall.
Trail climbs past an abandoned ranger station, then up behind the falls.
Hike northeast up to Lion Den Springs Botanical Area. There are six campsites on the route. Approved to benefit Pelican Affinity Partners, the community-based non profits who help the arts and environment. And, if you want to share a thought, or a suggestion, please do.
