Union Creek — Thursday, Jun. 30, 2022

We started around 11 am. Crossed the log bridge and made it to the first water fall. It’s about .25 mile into the trail. We went down the first path we came to. It was a bit difficult but we made it down and up. Got back on the trail and headed up a few switch backs. Found another path down to the waterfall. It split to the left and right. The left trail down is much easier. Although, the loose soil can be slippery. Got back on the trail to head to the second waterfall. The rest of the trail was more difficult. A lot of downed trees that we had to go under or over or around. Crossed two gullies. The second one was more difficult to cross. There were a few pink ribbons on the trees. We think to help mark the trail in hard to follow spots. Several areas of the trail were covered so much by trees and brush that we lost the trail a few times. Made it to the second waterfall, turned around and came back. It was pretty warm and we were pretty tired by the time we got back. It was a harder hike than we had expected it to be. We got back to the car at 4 pm.
