Easy trail to see a waterfall in Red Rock Conservation area. The whole hike is approximately 1 mile and is very scenic. The end of the trail is just serene and we relaxed there for about half an hour.

It’s a great little hike. Takes 30 mins to walk there and back. Waterfall is seen from Dec-April.

One of my favorite short hikes! When it rains there's a pleasant little waterfall at the end of the normal hike. For the more adventurous there's a whole canyon above the waterfall that is a wonderful off path trek and climb.

The trail itself is a cool easy trail. It switches between flat, wooden platforms, and rock stairs. The video below is the end point with the falls.

Easy trail with a small waterfall at the end. Spring had some beautiful wildflowers to check out. Trail is well defined, perfect for kids. Waterfall is often more like drops than a flow of water, but still refreshing on a hot day.

1st hike of the year!!! 🤣👍
Taking it slow and simple to get back in shape and pace after the holidays.
*Trail Difficulty: Easy
*Trail Distance: 1-mile RT
*Elevation Gain: 200 ft
*Trailhead: Willow Spring Picnic Area
*Time Required: 1 hour
*Lost Creek (also known as Children’s Discovery Trail) is one of the easiest hikes in Red Rock Canyon next to Petroglyph Wall Trail.
*Lost Creek trail is a nice, short, family friendly hike with a seasonal waterfall and features several plant species and cultural sites. The trail is narrow, with trees; stone stairs; rock-covered natural tunnels; petroglyphs; a boardwalk; and depending on the season and rains, a waterfall.
*WARNING: The trail can be a bit confusing near the start because the signage is awkward with several trails mentioned at the parking area. For Lost Canyon, head to the right of the parking area along a wide trail bordered by rocks. When you get to the dry creek, walk straight across it. From here, the trail leads up past boulders and rock walls with a couple of petroglyphs, then turns right and passes through a rock-covered archway, and opens up to a small clearing at the base of the waterfalls.
