6-25. Little Gibbon Falls
Figure 6-25.1: Little Gibbon Falls位在前往Wolf Lake的途中。
Figure 6-25.2: 停好車後得跨過馬路才能開始走。
Figure 6-25.3: 遇到一個回程的backpacking家庭。
Figure 6-25.4: Little Gibbon Falls的附近大都被樹擋住，這是較清楚的一個角度。
Figure 6-25.5: 跨過這溪水後可以繼續往前走到Wolf Lake。
Figure 6-25.6: 回程時遇到另一群人。
相較於路邊停車就可以欣賞到的Gibbon Falls，公園有另一個叫做Little Gibbon Falls的瀑布，但需要靠步道才能到達。步道口位於Canyon Village到達Norris Junction的一個算大的路邊停車，但步道在馬路的另一側，停好車後請小心過馬路。
這步道可以一直走到Wolf Lake，步道口也是標Wolf Lake，而Little Gibbon Falls離步道口不到1 mile，對於不想一路走到Wolf Lake的人來說是個還不錯的終點，也很適合親子同行。步道的沿路景觀類似不算遠且之前走過的Cascade Lake，大都是meadow與lodgepole pine的樹林且沒什麼坡度。在接近瀑布時要走上一個高處，而這個高處是欣賞這瀑布的主要地方，但大都被樹擋住，Figure 6-25.4算是比較清楚的角度之一。
這個瀑布跟[6-24. Wraith Falls]比起來不算差太多，但因為這地方的海拔較高，所以相對較涼，比較適合在七、八月這種時間走。如果你是五、六月到公園，在溫度上Wraith Falls可能會比較理想。我在相隔一天的時間走這到兩個瀑布，有趣的是，走到Little Gibbon Falls的路上花況比Wraith Falls略遜一籌，跟我事前的猜測相反。
這仍然是個priority不高的步道，剛好有在這附近、剛好有一點時間不曉得要怎麼用、剛好想稍微走一下......的時候可以考慮一下。不過這地方遇到grizzly bear的機會較Wraith Falls稍微高一點，走的時候最好有相關的防熊準備。行與餘力當然可以一直走到Wolf Lake或是Grebe Lake，但我估計比較適合想要solitude的人走，景觀上不要有太大的期待。
