Tacked on a little side trip to Newton Creek. Great loop!
Beautiful wildflowers. We saw both falls but didn't realize it was a loop until we returned and looked at a map. We went to the second Falls and back. Scrambling down to see the second falls (can't think of the name) was fun. Extremely dusty for most of the trail. Had to throw every piece of clothing straight into the washing machine. So worth it though!
Really nice hike especially today through beautiful wildflowers in bloom. Signage was not great - we missed the turn for Umbrella Falls (sigh! That's was happens when you're from out of town...) but we made the loop described here on the site and then drove up to the falls afterward :) all good :)
