Confirmed from Trestle Creek Falls Trail 1403c's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Trestle Creek Falls Trail 1403c
“Overall, it was beautiful and we did see both the upper and lower falls which were breathtaking, but it was much more challenging than I anticipated based off other reviews I read.”
“If you're only planning on going out to the Lower Falls take the Brice Creek trail down to the trailhead and it's an easy hike in.”
Truly unique falls. If you're only planning on going out to the Lower Falls take the Brice Creek trail down to the trailhead and it's an easy hike in. The Upper Falls is beyond gorgeous if you want much more of a challenge and have a little more time.
Great workout and beautiful hike. First half of the trail is uphill. Loved being able to walk behind the falls!
I would give this hike 5 stars, but when we were there 12/12/20 the conditions were very rough. The bathroom was abysmal, although they did have a note on the door indicating that they would not guarantee covid safe conditions...I would argue it wasn’t human safe.
This trail and falls is an offshoot from the Brice Creek trail. To get to it you drive down Brice Creek road to the champion Creek trailhead. After you cross the bridge take a left (west) onto Brice Creek trail and take that for 1/2 a mile until you get to the junction with 1403c.
