 Not
very long, this down and back hike can still be somewhat of
a workout as you gain 1,500 ft on the way back in only 1.7
miles. If you make the hike in the early spring, Cedar Run
should be flowing with several beautiful ponds and small waterfalls.
The main falls at the base of the hike have a great natural
water slide and there is a small swimming hole about 40 yards
beyond it.
Start the hike by heading down Cedar Run Trail. Pass the Big
Meadows Trail that comes in from the left after just 20 yards,
continue downward on the Cedar Run Trail where the grade will
gradually increase. In about 0.8 miles, Cedar Run will become
visible on your right with several small ponds along the way.
At 1.5 miles cross Cedar
Run
and climb the opposite bank. 0.2 miles further you arrive
at the Cedar Run natural water slide, with a small pond at
its base. In 50 more yards, reach your destination, the
tallest falls on the hike with Half Mile Cliffs visible on
the opposite site of the run. Leave the trail and have lunch
at the small pond at the bottom
of the falls.
To return just retrace your steps up the trail to the parking
area. |
