After setting up camp at Dosewallips SP, we had just enough time to do this short easy hike. The well-maintained trail gains 250 feet before descending a few feet to the viewpoint of the falls in a grotto-like setting at the end of a dark ravine with Murhut Creek cascading below. Total distance RT is 1.6 miles. The upper tier of the falls drops over 100 feet and the lower their 30 feet. There were no other hikers and this was one of the few times we have done this hike with no rain.

Hiked both of the these trails in one morning, trails in great condition. Water levels high, made the waterfall very impressive and the water flow into Ranger Hole very fast! I had the Falls trail to myself, many people on the Ranger Hole trail, collecting mushrooms. Extra caution was used descending steep slopes on both trails due to slippery leaves.

A great hike, just beautiful through and through. The trail is in great condition. Find a privy before you get there, the sound of water gives a bladder some ideas and getting far enough off the trail for leave no trace could be a tad treacherous if you're not paying attention.

Easy hike on a wide and smooth trail. Speed it up and get a cardio boost on the way there. Very pretty trail and excellent falls. Be careful with children when you get there as it is slippery near the edge. There are some primative trails to the base of the falls but it would be easy to fall if you are careless. Someone left a banana peel at the bottom. Really? Pack out your trash.
