Rocky Falls

If you are in it for a hike, this is not the place for you. If you're in it for the beauty, I'd highly suggest it! Literally just a couple feet from the parking lot, the falls are easy to get to


A popular watering hole in the summer - you'll find this place packed on a hot day with kids sliding down the falls into the pool below. When visiting, I try to go on a cloudy day so as to avoid the crowd. 



There is a quasi trail off the the right of the falls that will lead you to the top - and if you are able to cross over them, the trail continues along to the left of the falls on a loop that will generally provide several unique wildflower sitings. 












The view from the top of the falls is absolutely spectacular. Though, I personally think that they should name them "Angel Falls". In the picture below you can see the angel wings which appear to be on the verge of picking up and flying right off their rocky holster. 


Located in the middle of many of the parks already on this site, it makes an ideal place to stop for lunch and cool down before continuing on. There are public restrooms and picnic tables along the edge of the falls, making it an easy place to regroup before going back out into the wilds. 


The falls are one of the few places down towards Eminence that are clearly marked and simple to find. I will include a link below for directions, but I could not find a map of the area for you. :/
