Tips

The falls, when running at peak, give off a pretty heavy spray so rain gear is a good idea if you want to get close. During lower flow periods there is more room to roam by the base of the falls. In the wintertime this also makes an excellent destination for an easy snowshoe, though hikers are well-advised to not venture to the splash pool in icy conditions. The falls run year round and the incredible icicle formations along the rock face around the falls are spectacular.

This trail is closed for the summer of 2023 for construction. Check Forest Service website prior to making the trek:

Highly recommended. With a small towel in the backpack is worth a refreshing dip (at least the feet) at the bottom of the waterfall.

Very nice in summer and winter. Great to walk with snowshoes in snow.
