After work Friday, I got in a late trail run on the Brown Mtn. Fireroad starting from Millard Campground. I went up the road about 4 miles before turning around. About 3.5 miles out, where a very large tree provides a canopy of shade by the side of the road and where there is a water tank right behind the tree, I was surprised to discover two use trails that provide access to two different tributaries that bisect the road. On one of the use trails, someone has placed a wooden ladder for ascending a small section of rock as you move upstream (the vertical section can easily be bypassed so ther is no real necessity for the ladder). After about 1/2 mile, the trail ends at a place where there is a picnic table and a bench.
Following the second use trail in a different direction, I ran into a beautiful 25 foot waterfall. Close by, there is a flat site perfect for a tent. Must be someone's secret camping spot right by the water.
