Got to the TH at 0645, met with my group and left at 0705. We were the only cars in the parking lot. The weather was rain/misty, and there was a dense fog.
My group made it to the falls by 0745, and the trail was like a little creek with water flowing. Good waterproof shoes are needed. There were many fallen down trees, and the the actually creek you will cross 3 times was pretty high and several people got their shoes completely soaked. There was also many large rocks throughout the trail. Going up the stairs to the falls, the steps were slick and full of water. So please be careful.
The falls were amazing, the water was going so fast and I couldn't pass it like I normally could in the summer.
We made it back down and towards Lake Serene just across the bridge and to another smaller waterfall which I've only seen in the fall/winter due to the water overflow.
We made it back to the TH around 9:45 ish. It was pouring rain in the walk back.
Overall, bring a great rain jacket and waterproof boots and you'll have a great time. Just be prepared to get wet!
