Description

From the top of the falls, stay on the road and pass a tin-roofed shed where the road switches upward, sharply to the left, away from the creek. Continue riding on the main road, when you come to a Y, take the left toward the pointed pyramid-shaped mountain in the skyline. Head up a rocky road beside a sometimes wet, dark rock wall to another Y. Go right, towards the three-needled pyramid shaped peak ahead.
