I give this trail a five-star rating since it's a fantastic area to get away from the city. Beautiful wild trees, a river alongside the trail, and stunning wild plants may all be seen while hiking. However, I believe that individuals should be more responsible and considerate when it comes to littering, and that tagging is not acceptable. And yeah, the route to get up there has been closed for quite sometime; I'm not sure if it's due to the BobCat fire that occurred in September of 2020 or if they're working on the roads to get up there. I'm hoping they'll be able to reopen it, soon. This is a fantastic spot to hike. I’m looking forward to being back on the trail hopefully in the near future.
A tad confusing at first with the directions. Need to keep an eye out on those small signs. However, the waterfall is alright. Probably would be bigger after rain. The graffiti drawn all over the boulders ruined the naturalistic and calming mood. The hike is still good. I rate the difficulty 2.5/5 for a Novice. There is incline on the way back.
Beautiful hike. Mostly shady area. There are tons of bugs. Not many mosquitos tho. We got here around 9-10 am which is later than we expected and there is no parking spots near the park already. We parked on the street a mile away from the trailhead. You’ll need to reserve parking permit if you want to park inside.
The trail is easy, nothing difficult. As long as you follow the sign, should be able to get there in no time. The fall is nice and there is a pool under it.
On the way back, we met a little friend- young rattlesnake. Just be careful and bring a hiking stick to go on the hike. (They are more scared than you)
My main issue is many people leave trashes on the trails or put graffitis on the boulders which destroys the beauty of the nature. Sad to see some people don’t cherish the nature.
Tip: get here as early as possible. It gets hot and no shade if you have to park far out.
Great overall hike, just a bit rocky. I’ll bring boots next time. But if you love water falls, this is a hike for you.
Just a small tip follow the graffiti arrows.
Also park on the side of the road, you’ll see other cars parked.
