Started at Red Town Trailhead to Marshall's Hill Trail ---> De Leo Wall Trail (didn't do the 0.2m viewpoint loop) ---> Indian Trail (North) ---> Quarry Trail ---> Coal Creek Falls Trail descending to the Falls. Completed the loop returning via Cave Hole Trail ---> Red Town Trailhead. A total of 4.9 miles.
It was fun connecting the routes to make this loop. Today, I made a note of the Fred's Railroad Trail at the junction turn off to Coal Creek Falls.
Trails are in good shape and mostly dry made it easier to walk past the wooden bridge to get a little more closer to the Falls. Quarry Trail is a gradual but a firm uphill.
Spotted a couple purple flowers that stood at the side of the Cave Hole Trail. I think these are Camas.

That's garden hyacinth (introduced)... it spreads itself easily and everywhere...

A quick image search on Google hyacinths looked a lot different (in clusters and well nourished!) but I found what you referred to on a deeper search for the introduced variety! Thank you for it.

Blue Camas usually grows in the open, in meadows, and it's a darker blue.
