A hidden gem, though I am sure it helped that it finally has started raining. The hike along the power lines was not an accurate predictor of what was in store ahead. Beautiful trails. If you turn left at the trailhead, you go on a fairly flat, beautiful hike crossing the stream several times and walking around a beautiful pond. Go to the right, and you have a choice of hiking the rim trail with good views, or take the descent trail into the canyon. While the trails are somewhat short, eye candy abounded.
Another pond, a stream, very wooded. Really a treat and I will be visiting again.

Nice, peaceful hike - flat walkable trail. Interpretative signs are a nice touch. Liked the variety of trees, Bull Creek, and the meadows. Worth the time to hike it.
