| no partners | | 3.5 miles from the trailhead up to the Falls; 7.0 miles round trip
The first 2.75 miles is pretty much out in the open, exposed to sun or whatever. The last 3/4 mile is covered with a nice canopy of trees.
There are two easy water crossings once you're up in the tree canopy part of the trail.
There is now a 4' diameter broken tree that hikers must cross shortly B4 reaching the Falls. There is more water falling over the Falls than I've ever seen B4. Lots of shade & places to sit, rest, snack, before heading back down.
This GPS route will continue & take you up above & to the South of the falls into a lush meadow that parallels Hunter's Creek.
I recommend carrying at least 1.5 liters of water, snacks, & apply sunscreen prior to leaving the trailhead, & carry a rain jacket in case the weather changes.
Flush toilets at the trailhead as well as a place to fill your water containers.
If you're planning to hike on the weekend in Spring, Summer, or Fall, arrive at sunup if you want a place to park as the available parking spaces fill up early. This is a popular trail for those with pets |
