We planned to hike in and picnic at the Coal Creek Falls, but upon arriving saw the trail was closed as the bridge was down. I admit we decided to head down it anyway just to check it out and the creek is so completely dried up at the moment we were able to cross the creek bed and bypass the bridge completely. I'm not sure if the falls are usually absent this time of year, but there was no water to be seen on our hike. We continued on to the meadow restoration area, which has some beautiful wildflowers in bloom and includes some interesting signs with information on the restoration effort. All in all a lovely, but unremarkable hike.
