Starting from the Jackson Falls Trailhead.


At the top of Jackson Falls.

Heading south along the 048C trail.

Along the top of the bluffs.

Looking back along the bluffs.

A mossy crack I thought was pretty.

The 048C trail ends by going down this gully, leading to the 049 trail.

On the 049 trail, headed south.

Gorgeous sandstone bluffs.





The 049 trail heading south got less interesting, so I turned right, leaving the trail to rejoin the other side of the 049 loop.

Back on the 049 trail after rejoining, heading north along Little Bay Creek.

Little Bay Creek.

Getting back into the thick of the sandstone bluffs, just south of Jackson Falls.

Approaching Jackson Falls.


Jackson Falls.

Jackson Falls is located in a really wonderful grotto of sandstone.

Back along the trail, heading north on 049. 049 trail doesn't officially continue up to the rim (according to the Jackson Falls map), but a social trail led me back up.

Some more monoliths along the 049 trail.

049 ends, but the bluffs and a social trail continue north. I went on.


Along the way, paralleling a railroad track.

A particularly interesting grotto before I found a social trail up to the rim. This was the northernmost point of the bluffs that I went. They may have continued, but a satellite map view made me think this was the best of it.

My chosen social trail up to the rim.

On top of the rim, looking down into the bluffs.

Heading east off-trail, following the rim, until I could pick up the official 048 trail.

One more shot down into the bluffs from above. This was a bluff located close to the Falls.
