We then pick up the Jones Falls side trail which descends through a crevice with some tricky footing. Depending on the flow of the river and falls, we can investigate the river bed and get some great photos of Jones Falls. From there we join up with the Memorial Forest side trail which skirts the base of the escarpment with dramatic views of the cliff wall. We climb a short but steep trail back up to the main Bruce Trail. Then we head southward and get back onto the Merle Gunby side trail heading  back to the parking lot. The hike is short in distance but has some technical sections. Please wear good hiking shoes or boots. Lots of opportunity to take photos.
