Park here: 1183 Stone Door Rd.
The park is open from 7am to sunset year round. The first part of the trail (to the Laurel Gulf Overlook) is paved, and as you’re hiking along the bluff, there’s no real elevation gain. A fun, easy hike for all ages with beautiful views, no matter the season.

Park at Greeter Falls Rd.
Instead of heading left at the trail head towards Greeter Falls, you also have the opportunity of taking a short walk to Blue Hole, a local favorite for warm weather swimming. It’s only ~ a half mile to Blue Hole, making it a great option for those with younger kids. Because of the short trail length, it’s also easy enough to carry plenty of supplies so you can hang all day.

Park here: 1183 Stone Door Rd.
After hiking to Stone Door, you’ll descend to the bottom of Big Creek Gulf, and then ascend using an old logging road. If you return using the Big Creek Rim Trail, it’s a ~9.5 mile loop. If you take the Laurel Trail back, it’s ~7.8 miles. You may also choose to take the half mile spur trail to Ranger Creek Falls, which is about 2 miles after you’ve left Stone Door. We recommend traveling clockwise (Stone Door > BCG > Alum/BCR). You’ll definitely want to pack snacks and water for this hike.

Park at Greeter Falls Rd.
Greeter Falls is a 50-foot waterfall, and the trailhead also offers access to Blue Hole, Alum Gap and Boardtree Falls. The water is refreshing, and swimming up to the falls (and sneaking behind) is magical. This hike is not too strenuous, though the stairs to lower falls (where this picture was taken) are steep, and often slippery. When there’s been a recent rain, you’ll get a gorgeous waterfall like in the pic, but the path may also be quite wet. Please note: The bottom is rocky, and it’s difficult to tell the depth. While you may see locals jumping, it’s not advised — An injury could lead to paralysis. It’s just not worth it!
