This popular trail is beautiful as it follows Panther Creek for most of the distance. It is an easy trail despite a few rocky areas where extreme caution must be taken.

Fairly early in the hike, Panther Creek takes a noisy, rapid tumble down a long rock crevice.

There are many nice views of Panther Creek all along the trail.

There are several areas with large rock outcroppings. This one has a large tree growing on top of the rock ledge.

Beautiful Panther Creek Falls at 3.5 miles. Look closely and you can see some of our group standing on a large rock at the top of the falls.
