Description

This trail offers a lot of fun and beauty along its 4.5 miles. The trail passes by three waterfalls and one good mountain view at the top of North Harper Creek Falls. The trail has multiple creek crossings and some are pretty deep, so it is definitely not a winter time trail. The trails starts along Kawana Road and then ends once it joins with the Harper Creek Trail lower down the drainage.
