Route Description for Pleasant Creek Trail
The Pleasant Creek Trail is a beautiful hike along a lovely stream that flows year round. Before heading out on this trail, it is very important to check the forecast. Flash flooding along Pleasant Creek can be extremely dangerous—do not attempt this hike if you see rain on the horizon. Save this hike for a fair-weather day and enjoy your time hiking along this gorgeous creek. On a hot day, it can be so refreshing to dip your toes in the water and cool off by splashing around in the small pools along the trail.
From the trailhead, follow the creek eastward. There is not a lot of signage along this hike but the route is very straight forward: just stick to the creek.
Continue along for about 5.6 km to the turn around point and then follow your footsteps back to the trailhead.
