2nd creek crossing in 2024. Changed a lot..
How to get to Purple Valley
Purple Valley. May 2018
The trail is literally 25 feet / 10 paces after the metal post. Its not obvious for the 1st 100 feet. Goes up the right side of a small ravine right to the cliff. As of 2024 it was still very clear except 1st 100 feet
The approach trail, right turn off the main trail. Very easy to miss! Didn't have any rocks to mark the spot, look for the pillars on the left side of the trail (previous photo).
Just after crossing the creek, roughly 80(?) ft after, look for these not obvious pillars on the left. One is metal, and the other past the tree is wooden. They are directly across from the overgrown approach trail that's super hard to see.
