Excellent directions. That looks like an amazing place to camp!

[@ReichpoloTech]

It really is!

Too close to the trail. Illegal to camp there

Last May on Derby Day I hiked there with some friends. At first we couldn’t find the way down. We finally gave up and started hiking out but then we noticed the same way you went down. We were told the way down was past the falls. That area looked sketchy at best. One thing though, you call it Rainbow Falls but we’ve known it as Pooch Turtle Falls. I watched your arch video a few weeks ago. In May we didn’t know exactly where it was so I have not seen it yet. That’ll be another hike. Thanks for your videos, Mark.

I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for your comments. Have a great holiday season.

I’ve known it as Rainbow Falls and I tried to look it up and what I found online was that it was an unnamed waterfall so I called what I’ve known it as. You are not the first person that has said it’s pooch falls. So it may go by that name as well. I don’t think it has an official name.

[@paulschuhmann4534]

@@ReichpoloTech probably not an official name because it’s weather dependent. I like Rainbow Falls better. Pooch Turtle is kinda like Dog Slaughter. Where the heck did that name come from? lol

[@ReichpoloTech]

I like Rainbow Falls better as well. LOL

[@frankvogel7953]

You could include Turtleback Arch and do the loop back up to Rick Bridge Rd

[@frankvogel7953]

Rock Bridge Rd

[@ReichpoloTech]

Yeah there are many many options.

[@jatuttable]

It's a tongue twister.. haha

[@ReichpoloTech]

Yeah, In my opinion Swift Creek Trail would have been sufficient. LOL

[@ReichpoloTech]

For the name
