Second waterfall of the day, just a few miles from the first one. Nobody else at the trailhead when we parked. It was an easy hike up to the viewpoint at the end of the trail. The falls were a little farther away than I’d hoped, and there were only two spots that had a clear view of them. Still, impressive to see the waterfall between the vertical rock walls.

There was a use trail leading up from official trail end, so we chose to see what was up there. Steep, slippery, narrow hike up that trail, with limited views of the creek, but after less than a quarter-mile, we reached a rock outcropping above the falls that had a good view of the creek. Wyatt was nervous around the edges, so he hung back a little while I took some pics. I held his hand through the steeper sections and we made our way back down to the official trail.

Saw several people on our hike back to the trailhead. Cute little trail, but probably my least favorite of the day.
