Description

This trail starts at Moonflower Camping Area on Kane Creek Blvd. The short trail heads up the canyon, creekside, to reach a nice pond at the end of the trail. When it rains, there is a waterfall from the creek into the pond.

It's a good short hike to switch it up after a hike on the Amasa Back area trails.
