Arrived just before 9am on a Saturday. The main parking lot was full, so we parked in an overflow lot that added .25 miles. This trail is very easy, very well graded and has a lot of great view points along the way. Trail can be narrow at times when you are high up. Ropes are in place along the cliff walls if needed. I never felt unsafe and I am afraid of heights. We made it to Tunnel Falls in 2.5 hours. We forgot to add the side trip to Twister Falls, which we heard was only another half mile past Tunnel Falls. It took us 2.5 hours to get back to the car including a 20 minute break to let our dog swim in the river. We stayed at Eagle Creek campground that night. AllTrails said this trail gains 2000 feet - I don't believe that, the trail rarely had steep sections.
It was a fun and sunny day! Just shy of 13 miles round trip and 5 hours total.
