Went up to Coal Creek "Falls" today, which I'm putting in quotes because the falls are actually completely dry right now due to lack of rain. Aside from the lack of water, the hike was lovely. Red Town Trailhead parking lot was less than halfway full at 10am and the trail was uncrowded today. The entire hike was shaded, and there are lots of different options for hikes in this area. We took the Cave Hole Trail to the Coal Creek Falls Trail then came back by finishing the loop via Quarry Trail. This route gets all of the elevation gain out of the way so you can enjoy flat and downhill for the rest of the way. The whole loop took less than 2 hours with our dog walking slowly at times and stopping to sniff everything along the way. My GPS tracker Gaia said we hiked 2.8 miles.
