We started from the campsite instead of the parking lot. This made the hike to the falls a lot shorter then what is on the directions. Between the parking lot and the falls is a really flat, dusty walk with lots of nice scenery. There is a bit more of a climb between the falls and the camp site but no problems for kids and dogs.
The falls are pretty in the spring. We managed to climb all the way up to the wall and got some great photos over the falls. If you want to go up then be prepared for a climb. The shale is loose and you could slip and slide rather easily so be careful.
The mosquitoes were thick in the valley, bring bug spray.
If you want a more challenging hike then go to the rock climb area. We hiked through a rock crevasse and along the backside of the cliffs. Very beautiful back there, highly recommended for more skilled hikers. You have to climb into and out of this area but well worth it.
