Very difficult in spots w/ incline. Worth the pain. After the wood bridge, you get to enjoy a refreshing dip!

I haven't been there in years and there was a fire less than 10 years ago but the beauty remains. It's a pretty rugged hike in areas but there are plenty of beautiful stopping points to rest. Getting to the falls and the view it offers feels like an achievement. 100% worth it

Great hike if you’re looking for a bit of a workout. We pretty much had the hike on a Friday to ourselves.

The hike is strenuous, but the view are gorgeous. Wear hiking boots. The trail is well marked, and the falls remind me of sol duc, but with a better view.
