The rain didn't matter on this hike with my girls, 4yo & 7yo. They handled it easily but it wasn't too short either. We hiked down the hill to get the the waters edge at the falls and found a salamander, frogs and centipedes. On the way back out a rabbit bounded out in front of us. Girls delighted, perfect short hike and we picked huckleberries the whole way.

excellent hike for young children. With a 6 yr old with lung issues and a 3 year old, the hike was no problem. Short and to the point with beautiful scenery and an awesome spectacle at the end. My kids loved it.

We were here a week ago Friday. The trail is still in excellent condition and the falls and creek were much more full and beautiful today !

This trail is in excellent shape! We had rain the entire time, but this adds to the beauty of the falls! The 1.6 miles round trip with only 250 feet of elevation gain is a good "starter" hike for a week-end of hiking!

After an easy walk up a well-maintained trail (my nine year old nearly ran the whole thing!), we were treated to a perfect view of the falls. We were unable to get behind the falls as the falls were a little more ferocious than previous reports describe, but the overlook provides an excellent view. Cap this off with a beautiful drive through the forest to get to the trailhead and it is well worth it!
