About This Trail

Imported description

This is a great workout for toddlers but okay for the pre-teen crowd. The hike starts uphill and stays that way for a while. There are some stretches mixed in. The falls are beautiful if you are short on time and are tired. You can walk up the trail on the other side of the falls for a great picnic. The cables at the base of the waterfall have been removed.
