Hike Details:
Buttermilk Falls is deservedly famous for its spectacular falls and steep canyon that can be viewed from the Gorge Trail. Much less known is a lovely creek and ravine to the north, which can be viewed from the Owl Creek Trail and yet another ravine with an interesting water diversion structure.
We explore the Owl Creek Trail, Buttermilk Falls Gorge trail (if open), and the Bear Trail, hiking around 5 miles.
