The trail was busy as hell! Thats ok though, all in good fun. I was camping this weekend and brought my dog along, but left her leash at the campsite, damn it! She followed me down a hill right at the beginning of the trail and, of course, slipped and fell right into the raging stream! I nearly paniced watching her fight the current with a scared look on her face, but she did alright! I navigated the steep wet rocks til I was under the bridge where she was able to get partially out of the freezing cold water and I pulled her the rest of the way to safety. Lesson learned! Never forget your dog's leash!
Other that than, the trail was very easy with many AWESOME views of the raging stream below with several smaller waterfalls along the way. My buddy's three year old had no problem whatsoever other than the fact she was crying most of the way there because she had to go potty and was too scared to go in public.
Right as we arrived at the falls there was one blown down tree that we had to crawl under along the rocks. Most adults had to navigate over it while holding onto it but I'm pretty flexible, haha.
The falls were absolutely beautiful! There were a ton of people there, but it was ok! Such a short hike for such a killer view! I loved it and would do it again anytime!
