This is the trail head for the bridge that is washed out. (Photo by Branden)

The trail only goes 20 feet more to the left of where this photo was taken. Then the trail is blocked off and there is a collapsed bridge. If you cross the dry stream bed in another 50 feet you will come to this washed-out bridge. (Photo by BrownMJ127)

The first portion of the trail is paved, but some rougher stuff lay ahead. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

A winding boardwalk conveys the trail across a wide creek bed near the start of the hike. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

Chalk Ridge Falls, the feature that gives its name to the park that surrounds it. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

The cable suspension bridge provides a safe, but wavy trip across the water downstream from the falls. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

Most of the trail follows along muddy river bank. Erosion control mechanisms, such as this staircase, should not be avoided. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

The trail provides a number of opportunities to get into the river. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

The red trail across the suspension bridge is more overgrown. Here the trail even picks it way through a thicket of Cottonwood trees. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

The red trail provides heavy tree cover, but also heavy grass coverage of the trail. Often the trail was even more overgrown that shown here. (Photo by Austin Explorer)
