I started from the southern trailhead. Today's weather consisted of rain, sleet, snow and sun. About 2 miles in there is an unmarked Y junction. Stay to the right here. There is a post but no sign. On the way back I noticed someone has written "Falls->" to point you in the right direction but I missed that on my way in. Falls are about 4 miles from the trailhead. I attempted to hike up the short, steep path to the base of the falls to get a picture but got about 3/4 ways and didn't feel comfortable continuing. I didn't want my weekend to end with a call to SAR. Being a solo hiker today figured the best bet was to turn around and live to hike another day. There were three people making their way up after me but I don't know if they made it all the way. Back down to the main trail, I crossed the bridge and continued just a short ways north and was able to get a decent pix of the falls. Turned around and headed back. Saw one chipmunk today but that was it for wildlife. Several spots with deer/elk scat but no creatures were out today.

Hiked along Skookum Flats trail to the falls and then continued along the trail for another couple of miles. Found a good lunch spot by the river before heading back. Good cloudy day hike. The rain was just starting as we got back to the car. Quite a few mountain bikers on the trail today -- with not much elevation gain this trail would be ideal for mountain biking. Only real steep section was the very short scramble up to the base of Skookum Falls.
