First time at Barnhardt, hiked up to the waterfall. Road is possible to drive in a sedan, but I wouldn't say it's advisable. No issue in a Subaru. Started at 9am at 55 degrees, finished up just after noon at around 72 degrees. Much of the trail was shaded due to the southern sun being blocked by the mountain. I was the first one at the TH at 9am, but on my way back down I passed 3 groups hiking up.

Waterfall was dry, though there was water visible in pools in the canyon. Saw some semi-recent bear scat (dry, not *that* dry). IDed a Canyon Wren with Merlin Bird ID, and saw a crimson tip butterfly, which was very vibrant!

Great views for most of the trail. Trail was a nice gradual upward climb for the most part.

Some parts of the trail had minor/moderate erosion, and vegetation is encroaching on the trail, but not so bad that it impacts route finding. One rock with graffiti about half a mile up the trail.
