Falls and a clear pool at the base, a rewarding end to the hike!
It's only the start of the semester, but do feel like you're already falling into a pool of cloudiness and uncertainty of how the semester is going to go? Well luckily, there's nothing but crystal clear water, a cool waterfall, and awesome redwoods.

The hike will be an easy 3.5 miles round trip and will even include some light rock scrambling!
