A forested mountain creek with small cascades, boulders and framed conifers — ideal for intimate waterscape and landscape images. Best in spring for high flows and in fall for color; golden hour and overcast skies yield rich tones and soft light. Trail 186 is a short hike from a roadside trailhead near Lowman; parking is limited at Trail's End so plan for a brief walk. No permit for day use; follow Leave No Trace. Expect uneven, sometimes slippery terrain.
