グッディング郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The trail passes right by the waterfall, making for a magical sight within the canyon. You can see the geothermal springs below the creek where the waterfall pools.

Where the springs pool there is a beach open to swimming and kayaking withing the canyon walls. The color and variety of life along the trail is spectacular.

The springs emerge in spectacular crescents of azure blue and verdant green in a sudden canyon that seems to appear spontaneously out of the dry environment. There are vault toilets and ample parking at the trailhead.

There is a $7 daily use fee for the parking lot since this is a state park. There is a shaded shelter with information on the park and a metal bridge that runs across the gorge. From here you can look downriver through the slot in the cliffs and cross to the trail system on the north side. The road along the south side of the gorge is flat and paved.

From here you get a fantastic view along the river and down to the power plant. The outcropping of gorge wall directly ahead of you is a thin formation less than 50 feet across in places which hides Malad Gorge Springs.

There is a beautiful seasonal waterfall that tumbles down from M Canal into the basin below. You can park at the road and hike just down the trail offshoot.

You can follow the creek bed into the City of Rocks from Coyote Spring. The rock formations are incredible and the rock scrambling is adventurous without being difficult.

The start of the Gooding City of Rocks is down a long dirt road. The trail is minimal at best but this is a great place to scramble over the incredible rock formations and explore in the spring or fall. In the summer the path gets quite hot. Bring a friend and treat it as an adventure!
