Description

Most common approach is from South Diablo Trail. (There IS a connector trail to Stagecoach Trail that is not shown on this map!)

From South Diablo Trail/ Stagecoach Trail you descend some granite slab, climb back up some singletrack, then choose between a very narrow dirt step section to some unmarked granite slab, or around the corner to a 3-4 waterfall. Then descend some more granite slab, with a nice little looper section out to a descent back to The Divide Trail.
