January 20, 2021January 20, 2021January 19, 2021This trail is a 8k loop and just wonderful! By the water the whole way- not sure if water in summer. Great hike and great views!
January 18, 2021January 17, 2021January 16, 2021January 15, 2021Nice and fun little hike for the kids. $12.50 per adult, $6 kids 6 and up. Nice warm day but not too hot. Bring extra clothes for your kids in case they would like a dip in the water!
January 12, 2021Lovely hike. Not as easy as some hikes labeled moderate. Little elevation gain, but many stairs and rocks. $12.50 admission. I’d buy an annual pass if I lived locally. Clean restrooms!
January 12, 2021January 12, 2021January 11, 2021short hike. water fall was worth it. There's an entrance fee of 12.50 per person
January 10, 2021Great
January 5, 2021January 5, 2021January 3, 2021Beautiful fall foliage.
January 1, 2021Amazing views! Pretty easy hike but rocky going up and down. Highly recommend! The falls were breathtaking. Go to the bathroom before hiking.
December 30, 2020Loved it. Beautiful and the right amount of challenge for vacation. Only drawback was it was hella crowded. Most were wearing their masks responsibly.
December 29, 2020December 28, 2020Very nice and well maintained but you have to pay 12.50$ to hike lol.
December 27, 2020Whie the waterfall was nice and the trail was maintained, I am not sure what the $12.50 per person was for. This is a shot hike of 2 miles and very easy for an avid day hiker or person in good shape. The trail was overcrowed, constantly running into and waiting on others. County Parks and others are longer, more challenging, and free or parking fee only.
December 27, 2020If you’re an avid hiker, this isn’t great. It is very crowded and they are strict about staying on the trail so you can’t really explore much. The waterfall is beautiful, so is the canyon, I just prefer to feel like I’m really out in nature when hiking.
December 26, 2020Nice & easy
December 26, 2020Nice trail, quite scenic. Waterfall at the end of trail is nice. The description says easy but it’s not for folks with difficulty walking uneven terrain.
December 26, 2020December 24, 2020A bit too crowded, and has entrance fee. Views are nice. If you go off-trail a bit, you find a 10 ft deep swimming hole and it looks like you could jump off a rock into it.
