4. 4.0 Devil's Gulch (69 reviews)
   - Beautiful winter scene
   Waterfalls
   
   
   I went to Devil’s Gulch the Saturday after Christmas. The website didn’t say it was closed in the winter so I was surprised when I arrived and the gate was up. Another hiker was coming back from the park so I assumed it was ok to park on the street in town and walk in. The walk up the road was short. At the beginning of the gulch, there is a sign with the map and information about the area. A box is also there for donations. It would have been nice to have a printed map but you can print them at home before you go. I was the only one in the park and it was beautiful in the winter. The creek was mostly frozen. I walked right under the span where it was said Jesse James jumped across on his horse. I did try to find the waterfall but it must not run in the winter. Definitely have to come back in the summer, it is a gorgeous spot. Winter is a little treacherous with the ice and snow and all those cliffs so caution is needed but it is well-worth seeing with the snow. See more..

   The Devil's falls is located in the Devil's falls, you can walk the trail to view it, but it's quite far away, so you have to use a camera with zoom to view the falls and take picture of it. the Trail leading to the falls is not very harsh, 5 years old boy can walk it and it's not too long, can finish in 1 hour, there are some photo-taking opportunity besides the falls, the rock formation is also worth to see, and there is bridges can walk through.
