Blakiston Falls
A forest waterfall only 1 km from the Red Rock Canyon parking lot, with a viewing platform facing its multi-tiered cascades.
The trail leaves from the Red Rock Canyon parking lot, crosses a bridge and follows Blakiston Creek westward for about 1 km. It is flat and easy, and the viewing platform gives a close look at the water dropping through the gorge. Fit hikers can continue along the same creek valley to the high-country trails beyond. It is usually combined with the Red Rock Canyon loop, and the round trip takes about 45 minutes. The forest is more open after the wildfire, so in summer watch out for sun exposure and bears.
