Moderate hike, staying on foot path along falls. We started our hike around 9:30am, took one hour to get to the Upper Falls with a few breaks along the way to view the Lower and Middle Falls. Hike back took about an hour and a half (our dog was hot and decided to take a break in the river). On the way back, we noticed quite the increase in traffic up the trail, so start earlier than later. A number of people stop around mile post 1.5 to have lunch and let dogs play at the picnic shelter. The Wallace River was not overly full, so I imagine earlier in spring would make it a more impressive view. But, overall, a very nice day hike for us, the [lazy] dog and a camera.
