Thanks. Waterfall Glen is pretty cool, actually. There is over 10 miles of trails, 8 of which I walked in 100 degree weather (but still enjoyed it). Anyways, the trail leads along side the creek heading south where it comes to a bridge that crosses the creek. You can either continue heading south into the woods where there are some nice bluffs and limestone outcroppings, or cross over the bridge and head west up a hill into a magnificent prairie. I tend to stick to the woods in deep summer, as its much cooler and the creek is ice cold if you need it. The prairie can get smokin hot in summer, so I tend to do my prairie hikes in early summer or late summer/fall when its perfect weather. Just watch the trails on the west side of the creek, they can get pretty steep (probably 50 ft above the creek) and the footing isnt the best.
