This is a short but great waterfalls hike on the west section of the Coal Creek trail.
The first falls (North Fork) was very lively with the recent heavy rains (this falls is about 0.3 miles from the parking lot) and well worth the walk most of the winter.
The Coal Creek trail is in excellent shape despite the rain at least on the sections I walked. The trail had very little mud and generally and good footing despite the heavy leaf coverage of the trail.
The Primrose trail however, has several sections which may ""slough"" in the current weather. One section, heading west near Sandstone Falls is on a steep cut over the creek. It was stable when I walked it but it appears that the right conditions could wash the trail out at this or some other points in the area.
Sandstone falls was pulsing when I went by and I was not sure why.
I got back to my vehicle about the time the Monsoon returned happy to have hiked during a dry spell on the weekend.
