About

This is a strenuous, rewarding hike that takes you to a massive, beautiful waterfall. It is not for beginners, as the last stretch is quite intense. The trail is well-shaded and follows a rushing creek, providing a great atmosphere. Parking is limited, so arrive early. It is a true 'hidden gem' for those who don't mind a challenging climb.
