THIS IS A REPOST BECAUSE MY PICS WERE DELETED IN ERROR.

On Sunday, I hiked in the Cleveland National Forest to check out the falls. I met a small group at the San Juan Loop Trailhead.

We descended down a rocky path for about a mile or so before approaching the fork where the Chiquito and San Juan Loop Trails meet.

We continued for a short distance before we started to ascend 2.5 miles on a steep, beautiful trail with switchbacks.

Sections of the trail were shady and we had cool breezes along the way.

Lots of rocks.

Dry falls to be expected.

This was a nice short but sweet hike.

Stats: 9 miles 2300" gain.
