After driving through the housing neighborhood of Vogel Springs, the paved road in the housing area turned abruptly into to a very curvy, lengthy, bumpy dirt / gravel road, making it a bit tricky. |
 |
 |
The two RV Gypsies found a few parking spaces near the Helton Creek Falls sign. |
 |
 |
Leaning over the side of the trail shown below on the right, Karen Duquette got a glimpse of the waterfall through the trees. Notice the stumps and natural obstacles in the path. |
 |
 |
Then the two RV Gypsies went down some stairs, and continued
on a the path. |
 |
 |
 |
The hike was a fairly easy 0.3 mile hike, but there were many abrupt changes in grade along the short walk. PLUS, caution had to be taken with each step, due to stumps and various obstacles of nature on the trail. |
 |
 |
Below: Parts of the trail were wet with shallow water and very muddy. |
 |
 |
The two RV Gypsies got a good view of the lower Helton Creek Falls. |
 |
 |
Hiking the trail upward, Karen Duquette took more photos of the falls through the trees. |
 |
 |
Some stairs down for yet another, different view of the lower section of Helton Creek Falls. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Then, of course, the two RV Gypsies had to go back UP the stairs. |
 |
The two RV Gypsies made their way across a thin layer of flowing water from the upper fall and then Up some more stairs |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Then it was through a couple more sections of shallow water. |
 |
 |
Views of the Upper Helton Creek Falls. |
