We arrived at the trailhead at 9am and there were only two or three other cars in the parking lot, so plenty of space! The potholes on the road in were a bit dreadful for my Subaru Impreza, I bottomed out a couple times.
Weather today was forecasted to rain later, and we ended up having a completely dry hike. The trail is in great condition, though quite rocky, and today there were plenty of slipping hazards. There are multiple stream crossings, and though not horrendously difficult, they do require some extra concentration and the rocks are slick, so just be careful. We didn't use poles and managed.
The falls were stunning! We had the falls to ourselves for lunch. I did pick up some trash that I found in the area, so please make sure to leave no trace when you're there.
This was the fastest 8.5 miles I've ever done, and Gaia said it was only 770ft elevation gain, so it's super easy! Excellent chill, low elevation day hike. We completed the whole hike in about 4 hours, with a moving time of 3 hours.
