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.
