Never found it, road was terrible, parking was muddy, don’t try this unless you like getting stuck, lost and bug bitten.

I hiked this on 1/29/25. Two mile drive down dirt road heading east from Compton. I have a Jeep Cherokee, but did not need to use 4 wheel drive. Road was dry, but if it is wet, then may be slippery to drive. Road not too rough, but I would not take a passenger car. Follow Google map directions to where to park. There are two pull off spots on either side of the road before getting to the creek crossing. Enough room to park 5 - 6 cars. Trailhead is across the creek. The trail starts off heading downhill with the creek on your right hand side. Within 100 yards you see some waterfalls and nice rock formations in the creek. Trail was pretty easy to follow, but be alert for the places where the trail crosses the creek. AllTrails map is helpful. After about 1/2 mile, the trail levels out and becomes easy. When you get about 1.75 miles down, the trail turns up a narrow canyon, and there are places that are muddy, slippery, and require some scrambling. This part of the hike is a bit strenuous. However, go all the way up this canyon to where it is boxed in, and you will see the best waterfall. Well worth the hike! I will be going again in the future.
