Customer Reviews
Easy enough to find but parking for only one or two cars. The trail is well traveled to the campsite, crossing the stream several times along the way. Shortly beyond the campsite you'll need to find your own way to the falls. It'd be a good project for a team to clear a path to the falls. Overall a nice hike, but nothing special in the way of views or scenery.
This trail is perfect for a quick and quiet day hike, and the campground is very cute and cozy - plenty of room. The cliffs around the first part of the trail are gorgeous, and the little waterfalls at the end are peaceful and quite pretty. Hike is easy to moderate, depending on temperature and water levels.
The area is still recovering from the Wolf Fire in 2002, but the gorge is, well, gorgeous. The trail to the falls is brushed in or wiped out up above the campground.
Great place to hike in every season. Now enjoyed the welcoming of coming winter
Easy hike to a few campgrounds
