Park where the paved road ends and pass the wholly uninformative sign. The key to a proper beginning is to take the bridge on the left, just past the creek viewing platform. You should only be on the unpaved portion of Horse Creek Road for about 500ft. | Park where the paved road ends and pass the wholly uninformative sign.

The hike mostly follows Squibb Creek upstream and therefore a mostly uphill hike to the falls. The average slope was recorded at 12.2% grade with a maximum grade of 62.5%. Although there are many stream crossings, in September they are easily navigable without risk of shoe soaking. The falls and stream crossings could be entirely different in the spring or after heavy rains. Also where needed along much of the route there are well built stone stairs. | The hike mostly follows Squibb Creek upstream and therefore a mostly uphill hike to the falls.
