Natural Bridge Trail and Rock Shelter Trail Loop

Starting at the Creekside Meadows Parking Lot, follow the Creekside Meadows Trail for 0.3 of a mile until it forks into two trails.

From there, it's less than a 0.1 mile to the entrance of Rock House.Once inside Rock House, be certain to note just how hu...
