Starting on the Cecil Cove Trail.


Pretty cascade along the Cecil Cove Trail.

The Cecil Cove Trail parallels Cecil Creek, crossing it occasionally.

Starting up Thunder Canyon.


Beautiful water-carved crack.

The trail stays out of the watercourse.

Looking back at the pretty water-carved sandstone section.

I took too many photos of Thunder Canyon Falls. It was so pretty.

Back on the Cecil Cove Trail, headed northwest.

Cecil Creek.

Some old stone wall ruins along the way.

Eventually the Cecil Cove Trail leaves Cecil Creek, working west up a hill.

The trail is less well-maintained, and I got a bunch of ticks and countless spiderweb hassles.

Historic Jones Cemetery.

Overflowing creek crossing.

Not much of note on the southern half of the loop, just lots of forest.

A short view along the southern half of the Cecil Cove Loop.


I followed the Old Compton-Erbie Road back to the trailhead.
