This trail offers a very scenic hike in a riparian zone along a shaded path following Coal Creek up the draw. The creek cascades over a series of scenic waterfalls enroute to the Coeur d’Alene River. The rocks are covered by carpets of moss and beautiful ferns flank the pristine creek banks. This is an ideal retreat on a hot summer day.
