Sounds thrilling! Start at the main trailhead and head west on the old dirt road until you hit the first rock outcrop—mark that with a flag or a bright cloth. From there, follow the riverbank south, keeping to the lower slope to avoid any sudden drop‑outs. Make a left at the big fallen pine, which is a great landmark, then keep walking until you see the wide clearing with the ancient stone arch. That’s your hidden oasis—just keep your head up, stay hydrated, and carry a map or GPS. Good luck, wanderer!
