Upper Brandy Creek Falls

A short, gently graded stretch of trail from the junction leads to a boulder hop of a thin stream, after which the trail climbs again through a narrower section of the canyon. Soon you reach a viewpoint of Lower Brandy Creek Falls, with a park bench nearby from which to rest and enjoy the view. As a sign indicates that the upper falls is still 0.25 mile away, you continue upstream through the slender canyon, passing directly alongside the lower falls and the cascading creek above, aided at times by the presence of some iron handrails. Cross the creek on a twin-plank bridge and then climb along the north bank past another cascade and an inviting pool before crossing back over the creek and scrambling up to a dramatic, cathedral-like view of the upper falls.
