Description

The Grottos Day Use Area provides a nice spot for those looking to have a picnic or take a short hike with scenic views. The Grottos Trail splits into three separate branches starting at the western edge of the parking lot. The first trail heads left and is a very short route, stretching for about 30 yards and crossing a stream before ending at a gorgeous picnic area with a waterfall and boulders. The second trail leads off to the right and winds along a rocky pathway through forest, and ends at ice caves. The third trail is the longest, and also leads off to the right, but continues along a path for about 1/2 mile to end at the shores of Lincoln Creek.
