We did the loop in the counter clockwise direction.  The trail, "Upper Trestle Creek Trail No. 1403D" which started on the left just past the bridge at the parking area. 

The trail immediately began to switchback and wind straight up the side of the hill.  A mile and a half in we arrived at the waterfall. 

We stopped there for some lunch and for photos.  The falls first falls down an undercut cliff before splashing down rocks to a pool below (where we had lunch). 

After lunch we continued down to Brice Creek Trail.  There is a side trail up to Trestle Creek Falls, but we did not go there.  A short while later we got back to the trailhead. 

We saw warning signs cautioning against poison oak along the Brice Creek trail.  We didn't see any but tried to avoid vegetation just to be on the safe side.
