It is rumored to be haunted. The rocks make music eerily.

*****21 miles from cabin***** Hiking / Swimming Clear, rocky streams and scenic canyons bordered by high cliffs. Bell Smith offers numerous hiking trails. This is a popular hangout during the warmer months for cliff jumping and swimming. Bell Smith is spring fed, which visitors enjoy jumping into from nearby cliffs. Bring your swimsuit and hope your not scared of heights! Crowd starts rolling in around mid day. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed.

(25 min drive) – really neat hiking along a spring-fed creek. Good summertime spot with swimming holes and crystal-clear water. There is a natural arch along the trail.
