March 3, 2021Nice and warm. Beautiful walk. Slightly muddy but nothing proper strides can’t handle. If you park at the bottom it’s a great leg workout, a brief great leg workout. Pretty short but I’d definitely revisit.
February 28, 2021Meh. I was hoping for a little bit more but it was OK I guess. Definitely not an off trail type of trail

February 27, 2021February 27, 2021February 22, 2021Obviously there’s a beautiful view at the beginning and end - the falls - but the rest of the trail is beautiful PNW plants etc but generally basic. It’s a shorter trail with all decline down and all incline up. Going up is an endurance challenge for sure, but is wide enough to stop easily for others to pass if you need a break. Parking can be a challenge, so leave some extra time to find a spot.
February 22, 2021February 20, 2021Very steep coming back up but a great hike
February 20, 2021February 9, 2021February 7, 2021February 1, 2021Not what I expected. Not a whole lot of trail. Falls were nice, but just didn’t live up to my expectation over all.
January 30, 2021January 30, 2021January 28, 2021Went today with my 4 boys and had an absolute blast!! The waterfalls were roaring soooo nicely! The trail was super maintained and the lower part of the trail was open which was so nice! Super easy for just about anyone. There was one small hill going back upwards where my four year old complained for a few seconds but then he champed it out. Tons of places to take really good pictures. Definitely check out the bottom area because it’s well worth it. From the parking lot across the street to the very bottom of the trail and back to my car was clocked it at 2 miles. So easy, doable and a must have for everyone totally worth it
January 27, 2021Very easy, and family friendly trail. Park across the street from the lodge, take the bridge across, and follow the path towards the back near the falls. The signage isn’t great, so you’ve really gotta look for the trail sign. As of today, Jan 26, the lower trail was open. Really cold, and windy so dress in layers. You definitely work up a sweat coming back up. Was not crowded at all on a Tuesday. Encountered very few people. There is a little picnic area down at the bottom if you want to bring a lunch. And although the bathrooms are closed, they do have port-a-potties, but not maintained well. Really pretty views of the falls both from above and below. Happy hiking! Enjoy :)
January 26, 2021Cool , breezy, quiet ,and beautiful.
January 25, 2021January 25, 2021Went last Saturday. Busy but not crowded. Trails to lower falls were wet but not muddy. 90% of people wore masks.
January 25, 2021waterfall was nice. hiked down to lower falls.
January 22, 2021I went a couple months ago. It was a beautiful day. The trail is easy. Lots of signage along the trail about the native plants. The lower lookout was closed though. The waterfall was gorgeous. Parking was free.
January 18, 2021Beautiful as always!! Trail is very well maintained.
January 18, 2021Busy trail even on a weekday. Falls were great! Strong current but sun came out making it a beautiful day!
January 17, 2021Changed a lot since I was here last. LOTs of people. My dog Pebbles fell in the river luckily I grabbed him quickly!
