Oct 14, 2018 — Even though you can drive right up to Bluff Springs, I wanted to explore some of the trails in the area and make this pretty waterfall into a hike. If you like boring walks through the woods on a dirt road, this is a great hike. I, however, do not. Initially, I planned to head up the Willie White Trail to make this into a loop, but that also being a dirt road, I decided my boredom wouldn't permit this, so I just took the dirt forest road back to my car. After researching further, it seems like most of the trial system near Bluff Springs is a series of old dirt roads, with basically no views.

Starting up Taylor Canyon Trail.

Some pretty fall colors and a view toward the start of the hike.

A dirt road leads through a forest.

Some open areas where you'll likely encounter cattle.

A junction about halfway.

A slight view at the highest point of the hike.

Lots more pretty forest - too bad it's a forest road the whole way.

Bluff Springs ahead.

Follow the road back to the Taylor Canyon Trailhead.
