About the hike: Fossil Creek Falls is a 25 foot waterfall accessed by a pleasant and easy hike along the creek. The most difficult part of this journey is the 16 mile dirt road that starts near the town of Camp Verde.

Directions: The easiest way to gain access to Fossil Creek is to follow Forest Road 708 from Camp Verde. The 16 mile drive takes about an hour due to severe washboarding. High clearance vehicles and 4WD are recommended, but sedans have been known to successfully make the journey. Tire blow outs are a strong possibility if you take the road quickly.

GOOD TO KNOW Wear good traction hiking shoes, hat, sunscreen, water, snacks, rain gears and the most important is Ten Essentials: https://www.meetup.com/HikingOC/messages/boards/thread/9535234
