Hike to Lower Cedar Springs

This is one of the easiest, yet scenically rewarding, hikes in the Lost River Range. Traveling only 1.2 miles (3.4 miles round trip) with an elevation gain of about 200 ft. You travel in a canyon surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Idaho. Mt. McCaleb is the giant 11,682 ft peak on the left thoughtout the hike. The trail meanders along side Lower Cedar Creek. At 1 mile, you will come upon an old hydroelectric plant that supplied electricity to the town of Mackay from 1912-1940. Old wooden pipes, reinforced by mental wiring are found following the creek. Just past the plant the creek forks, follow to the right and cross the creek. The trail will be obvious. All the elevation gain starts here. It's a short 0.2 mile push up to the "hole in the wall" waterfall.
