About This Trail
The road leading to the hike has been closed since February of 2019. If you have dogs, keep them on a leash and they will have a chance to drink water. Come in late May-July to enjoy the many flowers. The entire right side of the falls is lined with Rhododendron. The trail is well maintained. The falls are beautiful and the sounds of the water cascading by the creek are relaxing. You can simply hike to the falls and come back the same way you came. Either way you go back to the parking area where you started. It is a good idea to go and see the nearby "Wayah Bald Lookout Tower".
