This hiking trek is part of a post I posted about earlier in case you missed it the link is below. It has ten pictures of the starting point of this five mile hike.

#1 Trail markers
#2 Trees
We are almost down to the bottom and to the creek. The creek is to the left of this frame, up against that hill.
#3 Almost to the trees.
#4 We made it to the creek.
You just cannot see it. lol. But what you do see is an orange covered hill on the opposite side of the creek. From here you can hear the creek rushing and the dogs splashing.
#5 Orange daisies
#6 We walked along the creek
for about a half of a mile before there was a clearing that you could actually see Pine Valley Creek.
My son decided this would be a great place for our first break. I thought so too. Nice and shady, the water is like ice and very clear. You cannot tell but there is a current here.
wht a beautiful place…
It was beautiful, and a great hike for cooler weather.
Well travelled hiking area it seems in all its sunny glory.
Very well traveled, but I only saw one other person all day besides my son that is.
A very inviting gate!
I thought so too, very well marked and pretty. I didn’t know there would be a waterfall at the bottom. I knew there was a creek is all.
