For such a short hike, this little trail is somewhat of a sampler platter for the Pacific Northwest. Tall Redwoods, icy-blue rivers with tree-log footbridges, endless moss, the enchanting ambiguity to lose yourself in, topped off with the iconic "Rivendell" waterfall at the end. Such a gem of an alternative when it's too foggy to appreciate the full splendor of Mt Storm King. I'd recommend hitting it either early or late in the season to avoid the crowds. The trail is wide and EXTREMELY short and easy, implying the Summer traffic's potential for congestion.
