This was one of the more peaceful and pleasant hikes we've been on in the area. The trail was clear, the falls gorgeous, and distance (9+ miles roundtrip) perfect for a days' outing. The old growth forest was enchanting and serine. Not as crowded as I feared, although there were a decent enough # of people. Any more & it would have been a pain.
Exercise caution when driving to the trialhead though: I recommend at least a 2 wheel drive with THICK WINTER tires--the gravel on the road can easily puncture smaller tires, and I would not return again with my little Honda. Ideally, a 4 wheel drive is needed for this access road, which in addition to the gravel has a large number of sizeable potholes.
