North Fork Falls
Arrived at the Coal Creek Pkwy trailhead after lunch, and was lucky to find one free parking spot. The trail wasn't very busy though: Encountered perhaps a dozen parties.
The trail was in good condition (with several new-looking bridges), but slightly muddy in a few places (and very muddy in one place). The Primrose side trail was closed.
Had no trouble following the trail, except in two places: 1. after climbing out of the canyon, the trail forked and we had to keep left to avoid ending up at a brand new YMCA; 2. a bit further along we hit a wide gravel road at a switchback and had to continue straight rather than follow the road downhill.
