Easy walk in a pretty forest great for taking non hiker friends out. SO busy absolutely no parking it is my own fault for going on July fourth though. Cold but pretty waterfall. Just incredibly crowded

I will echo all of the previous parking concerns. There is NOT a designated parking lot. There is extremely limited street parking (space for about 10 cars) and that is on a fairly busy road. Get there early and have a backup plan if you can't find parking.

I got there around 7a and there were about 4 other cars. When I was hiking out around 10a there were already many cars parked in the NO PARKING spaces.

That all said, it is a beautiful hike and waterfall. The salmon berries are ripe and the sound of the creek comes and goes as you are walking. There is a bit of mud, so just be prepared to get a little dirty but nothing that would require you to go off the trail.

PARKING IS AN ISSUE - this is a warning for all those that are looking at this hike for this weekend.  If you cannot find a parking spot on the side of the road and cannot fully get your vehicle off the road (ie. right of the white line) then residents that live near the trailhead will call the Sheriff to tow vehicles.  On busy weekends there can be nearly 100 cars blocking Mtn View road and people walking down the middle of the road.  Also please do your best when loading/unloading to keep your kids and dogs as far away from the road as possible.  Sight lines are brief and we all want to avoid the child or pet running out into traffic when a vehicle is going by.  Finally if there is no place to park please move on to your backup options.

What a great hike for families of young children or with your pups!  The trail entrance is right on the corner of the road.  My directions led me into the neighborhood.  The trees are gorgeous.  The trail is wide and roomy.  There are a few spots with downed trees which a stroller could not go through as well as a few rock hops across a creek.  The were not flies or mosquitos.  Little elevation gain/loss.  Went around noon- only ran into a couple of hikers.  Great escape!

Never had a blowdown SOLVE a problem before. A massive cottonwood came down on the lower trail at about mile 2. Fell across an old mud section, and created a great bridge. Someone cleaned up the branches (thank you) at the near end and made it step on, and there were some easily navigable steps at the far end.

Other than that (and a couple more easily navigated blowdowns) trail is great.
