Aug 7, 2016 — I recommend hiking along Falling Water Creek after doing the Richland Falls, Twin Falls, Hamilton Falls hike. This is a nice bonus along the very pretty slickrock-laiden Falling Water Creek. While this isn't an official trail, there is a social trail some of the time along the eastern bank of the creek, but I found it to be most enjoyable to walk within the creekbed. Starting from the Richland Creek Recreation Area trailhead, I started south and entered the watercourse, some light boulder-hopping required. The creekbed has some really cool formations. I turned around once the creek's slickrock seemed to be done showing off.

Starting along Falling Water Creek.

A social trail leading around the deeper sections of the creek.

The trail dropped me into Falling Water Creek, which I then followed rather than bushwhacking.

Gorgeous colors and typical southern hike charm.

Interesting slickrock along Falling Water Creek.

How did this happen? So cool.

Continuing up Falling Water Creek until I thought the slickrock ended, and turned back.
