== Route Description==
<!-- Detailed description of the route. Is there any side trails that are worth traveling? -->
Hike 0.6 miles up the Bullen Hollow Trail (blue blaze).  The Margarette Falls Trail (FS #189) is apparently the second blazed trail off of Bullen Hollow Trail (do not ford main creek). It takes the right fork of the creek and the falls are about 0.75 miles from Bullen Trail intersection with several fords on this trail.

Do not follow the yellow blazes as those are for a very steep off-road vehicle trail to the top of Camp Creek Bald.
