Fairy Falls - April 20, 2013
The Fairy Falls 7 Dry Creek Loop Trail is about 5 mile long. The trail traverses through forests and meadows and is especially attractive in spring when wildflowers abound. The destination is Upper and Lower Fairy Falls on Dry Creek. The falls are also known by the names Beale Falls or Shingle Falls. The hike to the falls is pretty and not particularly rigorous, although a minor percentage of the trail is exposed and could be hot. It s located near Beale Air Force Base and Grass Valley. There are no bathroom facilities at the trailhead or on the trail - only bushes and trees. We will have lunch at Mi Pueblito Taqueria in Wheatland after the hike.
