This is a short, easy trail that is family and dog friendly. The only reason I'm giving it a low rating is because of the viewpoints. The falls are very nice, especially right now when the levels are high (and the bugs still low). But there are barriers erected along the Trail, along with signage, to prevent closer access. I could clearly see that plenty of people have ignored that. I resisted the temptation, but there would be some great pictures from the river's edge. As a break from the Tully Trail, it's a nice walk. Just don't expect great pics.
This is a very short hike, but the falls are absolutely wonderful! The view from the top of the waterfall is a must see.
Beautiful! Easy to get to and see from many different spots along the trail.
