Pigpen Falls is a short detour off the main trail. This two-tiered waterfall tumbles over rock ledges into shallow pools, offering a refreshing place to cool off. It’s not as tall as nearby King Creek Falls, but it’s much quieter—perfect for a quick break before continuing your hike. If you have some energy, you can extend your hike to Licklog Falls, just a short 10-minute walk from Pigpen Falls. To continue on the Foothills Trail, you’ll need to backtrack the same way.
