A short, but very enjoyable hike with beautiful water flowing beside most of the trail. The trail is well used and without any significant climbing. The falls are really nice and would be a great wading area in warmer weather. Good weather today with clear skies and temperatures around 55-60 degrees. A bit of a drive to reach the trailhead, but worth the effort.

  • Strange tree growing out over the trail with multiple large growths from its main trunk . . . and a "tunnel" through its trunk.
