Driving Directions

Go east on Hwy 8. Turn left on Highway 79. Go 6.5 miles until Green Valley Campground. Be careful: there’s a left turn to stay on Highway 79. Turn left into Green Valley Campground. Our picnic spot is at the southernmost tip, near the hiking path to the falls.

We’ll hand out hiking trail maps on Sunday morning.
