About this place

The Big Tree Trail is a self-guided interpretive trail that is asphalt paved throughout and several rain/picnic shelters are located along the way. It is called the Big Tree Trail due to the large Tabonuco trees found along the trail. The trail ends at Cascada La Mina (La Mina Falls), an exquisite waterfall that drops over 35 feet through a jumble of huge rocks into a lovely pool where hikers can choose to swim in the cool refreshing water or merely rest and enjoy the view. Water temperature is 60-65 degrees. This trail connects to the La Mina Trail (which exits at Palo Colorado). From PR 3 Drive South on Carr. 191 10.4 km to a developed parking area.
