A great tour through the Bell Smith Springs, this loop winds along the banks of Bay Creek and offers an off-the-beaten-path experience. You will see rugged canyons, towering rock formations, and beautiful wildflowers all while navigating this 2.5-mile trail. Parts of the path are overgrown or covered by fallen trees, which can make staying on the correct trail difficult. It is important to pay close attention to the exposure pathways to see where other hikers have traveled.
