Parking Lot/Trailhead
This trailhead is marked well. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot and plenty of space to unload if you have a bike. If you explore the top of Monte Sano by car, you can find several places with beautiful views of the surrounding area.
Bridge
From the parking lot, you will be heading directly to the trailhead. There is a map located there. You will begin by following North Plateau Loop towards Fire Tower Trail/towards the lodge. Get on North Plateau and follow it until you hit the bridge pictured. It should be a very short walk and you should pass Fire Tower Trail. Once you get to the bridge pictured, follow the creek downstream.
Lodge Falls
Following the creek downstream is not easy and requires you to walk around ridgelines and down steep hills. This is not on a marked path and can get difficult to navigate especially when there are fallen leaves and/or wet ground. After following the creek, you will come across Lodge Falls. Go back out the way you came in.
