Overall good little hike. However nothing that special with no amazing views. It was worth it though. Do note that this location is for the parking for the trail and the trail head is farther up the road which you will have to hike to a bit. The parking lot isn't bad for a camper van if you have one, and if you go during winter there seems to be barely anyone that stops here. So it was very peaceful to cook outside and what not since there wasn't anyone to bother us. The trail itself is somewhat steep but overall easy. It is dog and cat friendly (yes cat, look at the pictures.) Luckily because there was literally no one I could let my dog off her leash and you can tell if there is snow on the ground if anyone is ahead of you. The spring itself isnt much to look at but still a nice little corner. Check out some of the other reviews because apparently there is some mine openings nearby.
If any of the information above was useful to you or any of the pictures that are part of my review gave you a good perspective of this place please give my review a thumbs up so that I know it's worth the time making these for...

There are several spots with little waterfalls; additionally, there is a great viewpoint at the top to reward the climb! Best of all this is a very quiet trail - I only came across two people the entire time I was here. Parking is in the gravel cove area to the side of the road - it is very smooth for parking and it...
Read moreIt was an amazing hike for our family, including two 6 year olds who are used to hiking and love boulder hopping. Lots of variety in the hike. Use the map on Alltrails.com. It was very useful. Otherwise, generally follow the bed of the creek or wash. Some impressive views on this hike. When you park, look up the road and the metal gate for the trail entrance is about a10 minute walk up the road. Don't walk on the road. Instead, follow the big trail on the opposite side of the road as the parking lot, and then cross the road when you see the metal...
