Reviews
"Wonderful trail. Amazing view. If you walk it take both loops. It doesn't add much time and both routes are beautiful."
"We loved the hike and The scenery that we seen along the way."
"Easy to moderate out and back trail (about 4.5 miles in total) with a nice view at the end of the trail. We encountered a lot of wildflowers, butterflies, and birdsong on our visit in late May."
"Skip this trail and go strait to the triple falls trail head. The first 3 miles your walking right next to the highway and the sound is like being under an overpass for an hour and a half. The falls are neat, bring a suit and the hike to the top is steep and not kid friendly."
"This is a very nice hike if you're looking for an easy 5 miles. The views are spectacular once you get to the end of the trail. The directions are pretty spot on when using Google maps but be mindful of the sign. You may miss it. There is some paved parking off the main road but it is only large enough for about six cars. Be mindful of others when parking. The trail is well maintained and an easy 5 plus miles with an elevation change of maybe 860 feet or so. I would encourage you to check the recent weather. If rain, bring trekking poles. You still may want to bring one even if the rain wasn't too recent. The trail is well hidden by the hills and trees. Implying the trail may never dry out. You will also find treated wood bridges which were very slippery. They do have some benches if you need to rest. All in all this is a very nice hike. Enjoy your adventure."
