Starting from Kyle's Landing on a series of trail leading to the unofficial Indian Creek Trail.


Indian Creek Trail winds on either side of Indian Creek to avoid rock-hopping, though you could just stay within the creek the whole time.



I tried to stay within the creek as much as possible because the rock formations kept getting more and more interesting.

One of many mini waterfalls.







One obstacle that has a use trail on the left side, or you can use the ledge on the right.

Above the previously mentioned obstacle, looking back.

More mini waterfalls.



Crazy formations.





Indian Creek begins to narrow into a stunning and lush canyon.


I probably took a million pictures of this section of Indian Creek. It was really pretty amazing.




More fun obstacles along the way up Indian Creek.








A staircase-looking cascading fall.

Above the staircase-looking fall.

The final section of narrows.

Looking back as I entered the narrows. Arkansas Cave (closed to public to protect bats) on the top right.

Close-up of the canyon walls.

Impassable waterfall before the mini scramble up to avoid it.

Looking back down the narrows, Arkansas Cave top center.

Ropes to assist in the otherwise mini Class 3 climb.

Looking back down from the top of the rope section. You can see the tunnel on the top right that you'll be going through.

End of the tunnel, following a social trail.

Approaching Indian Creek above the first major waterfall.


Finally. Eye of the Needle Falls! There was no water when I visited, but it was still absurdly spectacular.





Head to the left and find a social trail that goes above Eye of the Needle Falls. The social trail leads to the top of the falls. This is a view point looking back down Indian Creek the way I came.

Continuing back down on the other side of Eye of the Needle Falls.

Eye of the Needle Falls from the top.

Top of Eye of the Needle Falls left, use trail to access this spot on the right.

Continuing up Indian Creek.


Another couple of obstacles.


My turn-around point was this prominent slimy slab of rock. The immense beauty of Indian Creek seemed to have mellowed out anyway.
