스프링 마운틴‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 폭포

On the east slope of Mummy Mountain, you pass through an open, gravelly hillside dotted with ancient Bristlecone Pines and reach Mummy Springs. Just 0.3 miles off the main North Loop Trail (0.6 miles round trip from the North Loop) this peaceful spring waters a picturesque alpine meadow and a lovely place to take photos and rest.

Just a few hundred feet off the main trail is a small waterfall flowing down a two-tiered limestone cliff (well technically three, but you can only see two from the base). It is a great little detour on your way up or down from Cathedral Rock.

Little Falls is a unique seasonal waterfall that flows down limestone cliffs at the end of a narrow box canyon. This waterfall is accessed by a short, out and back spur trail (0.6-mile total) off the main Cathedral Rock trail. The spur trail takes you through a narrow, shaded canyon to the waterfall - watch your footing because you sometimes need to scramble up and over rounded logs wedged between the limestone walls. This short detour is an excellent way to add a little milage to your hike and visit a lovely, shaded waterfall in a unique setting.

Mary Jane Falls is a seasonal waterfall up Kyle Canyon. These towering falls are fed primarily by snowmelt and therefore only occur in the spring and/ or after heavy rainfall. Even if the falls are not in, this is a peaceful, scenic spot high up among sheer limestone cliffs.

Just a short distance off of the main First Creek Canyon Trail is a hidden waterfall that flows into a deep pool. Although the falls are not always running, it's a peaceful place to sip water and take photos under the shade of some large cottonwood trees. Please refrain from swimming in or allowing dogs to swim the pool! This is an important water source in the desert for many local species of plants and animals. Please also be mindful of erosion when hiking down to the pool and try to stick to the most commonly used trail by a large pine tree and a medium sized white boulder. Also be aware that to get to the pool you might need to hop a few boulders over the water. I recommend generally sticking to the left-hand side of the stream when facing the pool to take the easiest and most traveled path to prevent wet feet and to help protect the delicate environment.

Just 0.6 miles round trip from Rocky Gap Road is a hidden seasonal waterfall in Lost Creek Canyon (typically present after rain storms and December-April). The waterfall is sometimes frozen the winter providing unique photo opportunities in the desert! This area is also a part of the Children's Discovery Trail, a self-guided, interpretive trail about the Red Rock Canyon area.

The Mummy Spring Trail shares at this point. The way up leads to the spring and a small waterfall, who wants to run down the (not in all maps) Trail downhill, has to fight straight through the scrub a bit, to the sometimes quite steep, but little committed way along the Deer Creek to find.
