Green Mountain Falls Trailhead
The Green Mountain Falls Trailhead provides access to one of the most popular day hiking destinations in the Sierra Madre Range. The falls are located at the end of the Green Mountain Falls Trail. Many hikers park near the intersection of Forest Roads 550/550.2H as the road becomes a rough 4WD road. It is managed by the Brush Creek/Hayden Ranger District.
