Description
Walking through the forest and along the top of a steep canyon wall to a good lookout view of the upper and lower Crescent Falls. Occasional short steep sections of trail. The trail continues beyond the lookout to the falls themselves but we decided not to go that far.

Moderate
Hiking along trails with some uneven terrain and small hills. Small rocks and roots may be present.
High Exposure
Some trail sections have exposed ledges or steep ascents/descents where falling could cause serious injury.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
