This only takes 2 hours round trip for capable adults. Not sure why people are saying it takes 3 or 4 hours?? Took us 2:15 with a long stop to see the view at the very top, and another stop for a granola bar along the way. Anyway, don't let the log crossing at the beginning scare you, it's super easy after that. Absolutely beautiful trail, with the creek and little falls all along the way, and the cliff falls at the end are amazing! Definitely worth the hike.
