Coal Creek Falls via Cave Hole Trail Description
Coal Creek Falls is a small, beautiful waterfall that can be reached on this popular trail or by taking the less-traveled Nike Horse Trail. This route is suitable for most skill levels with only modest climbs and plenty of flat spots to catch your breath at. Try to visit after a good rain to get the best experience at the falls.
There may be horse traffic on the second half trail, so keep dogs leashed and give riders the right of way whenever possible.
Begin from the end of the Red Town access road. There are a few trails that begin here, so take care to take the one on your far right. Keep left at the first junction and then right at the second. Follow Cave Hole Trail to where it intersects with the Nike Horse Trail. Turn right here.
Following the horse trail south, it’s not far to the falls. After enjoying the view, you’ll turn around and retrace your steps back to the trailhead.
