Description

The hike to Lady Face Falls is an easier hike that is great for a half-day hike. It is a good family hike as well. The trail is open to mountain bikes (no e-bikes or pedal assist). In early summer it is a good hike to see wildflowers. There is an unmarked, user-made trail to the waterfall. It requires hiking off trail to view the falls. 

Don’t forget to check out the bridge to nowhere at Stanley Lake near the trailhead where you can see the impact of the 2020 earthquake.
