Hiking to Enchanted Cascade Falls

This historic hike follows the old narrow gauge railroad line from St. Elmo to Nathrop.

Enjoy stunning views of the chalk cliffs on the other side of the valley. This is a good hike for all levels of outdoor enthusiasts. Cascade Falls is the turn around. The total hike is about 7-miles and takes 3-hours. It is all along flat terrain on an elevated trail above the chalk river valley.
