Recommend counter clock-wise. This makes the section of two-lane road where cars are more often encountered a quick downhill. We actually started and finished at Beaver Creek Falls, but due to more parking and the bathroom I drew it starting at Sweet Creek Falls trailhead. Fun loop with good optional side explorations possible. We looked for an old Ranger Station that showed up on an old map near an old quarry, but didn't find it. Not even a foundation. Fun trip though!
