When you cross the Bridge, veer to the right to continue along the Gabrieleno Trail

Continue to Fern Lodge Junction. At this Junction, there are signs on both sides of the trail. The Fern Lodge Junction sign (streamside) shows the way to Sturtevant Falls. The Sturtevant Falls Trail ends at the falls requiring you to retrace your steps back to Fern Lodge Junction if you want to continue going up the canyon.

Across from that sign is the Sign indicating the way to continue along the Gabrieleno Trail or taking the the Upper Falls Trail.
