About St Mary and Virginia Falls Trail
This trail offers stunning views of nearby mountains like Dusty Star Mountain and leads to the picturesque St. Mary Falls. The area was affected by the Reynolds Creek Fire of 2015, but the natural beauty remains intact. Visitors can enjoy the unique aqua-green pools below the falls and spot American dippers along the river.
