The creek flows through a Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forest in its short course through a narrow canyon. It is a left-bank tributary of Pescadero Creek and is perennial, being fed by rain in the winter and by fog drip in the summer and fall.

Near its mouth, the creek plunges over Tip Toe Falls, a series of two waterfalls that has a total drop of 14 feet (4.2m).
