Hike, Mountain Bike, and Swim

Gordon Creek Falls is a set of waterfalls (upper and lower) accessable usually by ATV, but also by hiking, if desired. The trail will take you to the first set of falls, as marked below, and from there, other trails can be followed to reach the more remote (but less striking) upper falls. An exciting challenge is to see if you can find the old prospector's cabin, still standing from decades ago, or to find ancient pictographs on the nearby rock walls. Take care not to disturb these precious old relics, so that others afterwards can enjoy them as well.

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.

Be courteous, informed, and prepared. Read trailhead guidelines, stay on the trail, and don't feed the wildlife.

At 2.5 miles cross the railroad track and continue down the dirt road to the left, and the railroad track will now be on your left. At 3.1 miles cross the 2nd cattle guard. At 3.3 miles look for the Gordon Creek Trail sign on your right. Park anywhere near this sign. The trail literally starts here, so to get to the falls just walk down this ATV road.
