Mrs. CW and the Iceland Daughter hiked to Faery Falls


The Ney Springs Canyon Trail near Siskiyou Lake in Mount Shasta City is an easy hike through the 19th century ruins of Ney Springs Resort with a waterfall payoff.

A little over 3/4 of the way up the trail, you will find the old ruins of the Ney Springs Resort, a popular destination for local tourists in the 1800’s. From there on continue approximately 0.25 miles down the trail to gain access to Faery Falls. Depending on water flows, you will find a lively 40-ft cataract with a great vantage point.
They said the springs did smell like sulfur.

  1. I take it that they did not jump into the sulphur springs for its curative value?

    1. Alas, the resort is long abandoned, and the sulfurous water was drizzling out of rusty pipe.
      Mrs. CW did dare the daughter to take a taste, but the youth wisely declined.
