Story
Muddy creek waterfall is tucked away at the divergence of two canyon walls, making it a unique sight. The waterfall is beautiful and the hike is easy, plus the drive on the way out is fantastic. I suggest stopping in Bynum at the Two Medicine Dinosaur Center and rock shop. Make another stop at the Bynum Reservoir too. Keep an eye for wildlife - I have never visited this area and NOT seen all kinds of animals: coyotes, deer, foxes, bighorn sheep, etc. The trailhead will show up on google maps, giving you directions to the area. There is a pretty obvious parking area with a gate. Follow the dry creek bed until you locate the trail. Even if you miss the trail at first, as the canyon narrows, you just follow the creek. Primitive camping is available nearby.
