     Snow on FS Rd. 2510 past Ranger Hole to Murhut turn off, but we did fine in our low clearance sedan. A few blow downs in road but none impassable.
     The trail was in good shape, a little snow and a hemlock blown across the trail.
     Great short hike, allow extra time for scrambling up the far side to the upper falls. Don't forget your rain gear though, a bit on the damp side up top. Really great alcove behind the upper falls if you're up for slippery rocks. The wood debris in and around the river were quite impressive, as was the dripping moss in a chute just to the right. We were planning to take the short hike to Ranger Hole as well, but work crews were there today and we decided to skip it.

The TH is on FS Road 2530 about 1 1/2 miles from the Duckabush TH. Road 2510 at Collins CG becomes passable only by a medium to high clearance vehicle because of the compact snow and ice in the road. 2530 has very little snow, but is steep and icey in places so one needs good traction tires. The trail is clear with only traces of remaining snow. It is .8 miles to the falls viewpoint. This is a beautiful creek and falls.

There is a 24"" diameter tree across the road about 1/2 mile from the TH. The tree was cut with a chain saw and was left whole across the road. We parked here and hiked from there to the falls. There are 2-4"" of snow on the trail. The water in the falls was much less than when we were there in early January, but the ice formations around the falls added to the beauty of the scene! 2.8 miles round trip with the added road walk.

The trail was in good condition with very little standing water. Because of the recent rain and rain during our hike the creek and falls were at their fullest and very beautiful! The roaring sound of the water added to the beauty of the area. We found a pair of child's prescription glasses on the bench at the end of the trail.We brought these home and posted info in the WTA lost and found section.

A large fallen tree blocks F.R. 2530 approx. 0.6 mi. from its junction with F.R. 2510. It is a tight turnaround. You can park there on the roadside and walk the last 0.5 mi. to the trailhead. Trail #828 is in excellent shape and has recently received a coat of brown dirt (Thank you Mt. Rose Trail Crew!).
