Wonderful. Such a great hike. The waterfall, in the snow, was magnificent. Highly recommended about 4.5 mile (total) hike.
Beautiful waterfall! Fun, kinda challenging hike. The trail to the falls is about 2.25 and then you can continue on from there. We just did the falls and headed back. The first mile and a half of this trail is switchbacks and uphill but the falls are worth it! Kinda small parking lot with a bathroom. Lots of broken glass so don’t leave valuables in the car
Love the trail; challenging, beauftiful, and connects to a network of trails.
I feel great when i hike it, its a lot of fun. Creek is beautiful and 30 minutes in. Try staking the rocks, but remeber to lnock them down! How many can you get?
