This short yet scenic trail begins near the parking area next to the octagonal dairy barn buildings and follows Short Creek up a series of stairs to stunning views of Fintry Falls. The trail is approximately 1 kilometre round trip and consists of a combination of dirt pathways, gravel sections, and over 400 stairs. The staircases are well-maintained with handrails and another rail at knee level but can be steep and uneven in places. There are three wooden viewing platforms each offering a slightly different view of the falls as the stairs climb higher up the canyon wall. The nearest restrooms are pit toilets located in the parking area. This trail is a rewarding but physically demanding option for those seeking a close-up view of Fintry Falls and the surrounding scenery.
