This trail was perfect for a quick, easy and rewarding stroll. There is a large parking lot at the trailhead. There were also detailed maps available at the trailhead, which I highly recommend picking up because there is quite a maze of trails in this area. For the most part everything is well marked, so you should be able to find your way without trouble.
My best friend and I were looking for a quick little hike. Something that would be perfect for the lovely, cloudy, drizzly day that it was. The start of the trail is a wide path with a steady uphill grade. Once you make is past that and get into the smaller foot trails it is such a delight! There are lots of little ups and downs throughout the trail, but nothing so intense that you will be too out of breath to hold a conversation with your hiking buddies.
The cave holes were way bigger than I expected them to be. The warning signs by some of them had some pretty interesting depictions on them. Something about goofy warning sign depictions always makes me giggle a little bit.
Once you navigate your way to the falls you are really in for a treat. The trees open up to let the light shine in on a beautiful mossy grotto with the falls at the far end. It felt like stepping into a magical, enchanted place.
The hike took us probably a bit over an hour at our leisurely pace. I would definitely recommend this hike if you are looking for something that will be a pleasant stroll through the forest with a delightful waterfall scene at the end.
