Muddy. Simple to follow. Park near lulumahu lot and walk down. Be respectful and pick up your trash.
Fun trail, never found the ruins but the waterfall views were amazing!
Amazing place where you can reach within 30min. We run into couple of people even though “closed”. Falls was pretty nice too! Parking is getting crowded again..
Once you get on the right trail to find the falls they are beautiful! Take the trail to the ruins (so cool!) and then go past them to find the falls!
