Special Instructions:
Bring a camera if the falls are flowing as they are 196’ high – higher than Niagara Falls! The creek in the last half mile leading to the falls is also very scenic. The road after Tortilla Flat is very scenic, particularly viewed from the narrow portion that is perched on the side of wall as you descend into the valley. Bring plenty of water and food for a snack and lunch.
Directions:
Follow Hwy 60 West to Old West Hwy and turn right on Goldfield Rd. Turn left on Lost Dutchman and right on Apache Trail (SR88). Drive NE on SR 88 past Canyon Lake and Tortilla Flat to the end of the pavement. Continue on the dirt road until you see the sign for Reavis Ranch Trail between mile markers 227 and 228. Turn right and follow this dirt road to its end (2.8 miles). The trailhead is at the north end of the parking lot. The smooth, well-graded dirt roads are easily passable in a passenger car during dry weather. Because of numerous hair pin curves, plan on the 28 miles from US 60 to the trailhead taking one hour.
