What people say

People like:
Beautiful waterfall and forest scenery reward the hike.
Worth knowing:
Muddy sections, loose rocks and creek crossings make the route challenging.
It took me 2.5 hours to reach the waterfalls at a brisk pace. The trail is very well marked so you won’t get lost. The trail is not suitable for running or a mountain bike because it crosses multiple loose rock streams, go over fallen…
Google reviewer
Not very informative and too confusing maps and directions.
