I have hiked this trail many times now. It is my absolute favorite! The colors in early October are just to die for. There is a gorgeous new view around every corner. Many small waterfalls on the way up and so many view points. My son was able to hike it just fine. The trail is well maintained and well worth the hike. We always sit on the rocks and eat lunch at the top with a great view of the falls. I recommend this trail to anyone.
