The trail can get narrow in spots. Rock hopping on the river can be very fun but gets pretty dangerous. There is more to this trail and other trails not shown on the map link included. Warning!

Beautiful! Falls are running strong! Muddy abs slippery though so be careful.
Relatively easy, verrryy rock and parts are wet so be prepared with appropriate footwear. Falls were awesome. Went during winter and it he icicles were amazing! Saw a river otter running down the trail with a fish in it's mouth.
loved this trail! also forgot to turn off recording before driving away. lol
Pretty easy walk. A bit trecherous if you decide to get near base of falls on the rocks. Interesting, not sure if falls are natural or the results of the dam. Nice outing.
Nice little hike, but the eye candy is top notch. If you’re looking for miles, this ain’t it but if you’re good with a smaller hike with lots to see, do not pass this one up. We will do this one again next time we’re in the area.
Beautiful not difficult I would recommend boots just because there’s some low creek crossings. Sitting on a rock and meditating is a great way to heal the soul. Highly recommend
This is always a great classic trail. Starts with a bang. View Twin Falls for most of your walk down the trail. Go all the way to the end and take in the view as the sun bounces off the water and the bluff rises above you. Heavily trafficked, well marked, super easy for all skill levels. If you go rock hopping down to get a closer look, don’t get caught in the gorge when the sirens go off. It means water is being released from the dam and the water will rise quickly.
