Arrived at the trailhead at 8am, was the first car in the lot. This is a nice big lot with plenty of spots. The bathrooms were open, clean and stocked with TP.
The road in is good (a few narrow points on the middlefork road where fallen trees have not been fully cleared), until the end after you pass the middle fork trailhead lot. After that there is a series of very rough potholes after the bridge and beyond. I don't think a low clearance car is making it over all that without damage. Subaru needed minimum. In a high clearance car it's a breeze.
This trail is a pretty simple walk in the woods, follows an old road for most of the way. There are a few creek crossings that aren't too bad, all good rock hopping. Lots of gorgeous mossy trees, creeks, and mushrooms along the way.
This was my first time to this falls and it's for sure one of my favorite waterfalls I have been to. It's so much more impressive in person and is so unique.
I had the falls and the trail to myself. I only ran into maybe 4 other parties on the way back out.
Overall a great rainy day hike for solitude, worth the mileage.
