| TRAIL TO UPPER TRESTLE CREEK FALLS |
The Trestle Creek Falls hike is a pleasant 3.5-mile round-trip stroll through an old growth forest past two waterfalls. It is only about three-quarters of a mile to the lower falls, which are located within a secluded grotto accessed from a side trail. It is only about a mile further to reach the two-tiered upper falls, where the trail will take you behind and below the falls for some impressive views.
This can be done as a loop hike, as there is an alternate trail leading back to the trailhead at Upper Trestle Creek Falls. However, as I was unaware of the alternate trail when I visited, I just returned the way I came. Because this trail is a little out of the way, and doesn't contain waterfalls as spectacular as others in the region, it doesn't receive a lot of visitors. I was surprised how few people I saw while visiting over the 4th of July weekend.
