Today’s hiking adventure began at East Creek Falls.

Two weeks ago we hiked past East Creek Falls when we hiked the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail. Today we decided to hike the opposite direction along East Creek.

The paved trail followed alongside East Creek.

East Creek flows into the Minnesota River.

Spring has officially arrived in Minnesota! The leaves are beginning to grow on the trees, and even the grass is getting greener.

Fun sidewalk art!

We made our way towards Downtown Chaska.

We decided to turn around and begin our hike back to our starting point.

Today’s hiking adventure was along the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail.

We previously hiked this trail in September of 2023. Today, we decided to hike the other direction to see what secrets it held.

East Creek Falls

We followed the trail alongside East Creek.

A little bit of snow and ice were still holding on.

Spring is trying to make an appearance.

We found a set of stairs. Of course, we had to see what’s at the top.

Ok, it was a bit underwhelming at the top. However, it did allow us to hike some unpaved trails that led us to my favorite part of the hike.

The trail led us to a steep hill that we needed to get to the bottom of. There was a white rope halfway down the hill to grab onto if needed. Well, it was definitely needed! This was my favorite find of our adventure.

We stayed on the unpaved trail until crossing over the creek.

We followed the paved trail back to our starting point.

Today’s hiking adventure was 6.7 miles.
