Itinerary description
If you want to go all the way to the river on the Steven's trail check out the full trail description at http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=303635 or even better the description from the Meadow Vista trail association http://mvtrails.org/stevens.htm .
If you don't have time to go the full 8 mile round-trip to the river, this 3 mile loop takes you to the waterfall. The way down uses the hiking-only trail. The return journey takes the bike trail back.
