    Set off on the picturesque Comet Falls trailhead, located four miles east of Longmire. As you make your way, you'll encounter Christine Falls flowing beneath its iconic arch bridge. The trail then continues its gradual ascent, guiding you to the base of Comet Falls and onwards towards Van Trump Park.
