Yes, it's long and steep but well worth the accomplishment and views! Not nearly as hard as I expected either! I will do it again! Beware if you get elevation sickness. One of the girls with me had to stop every 20 feet once we got to the last few hundred feet of elevation because she felt sick and dizzy due to the elevation, and she is from this area. And always remember your pups can get elevation sickness also, but they can't tell you.. so you might not know till it's too late.

Nice short hike to two views of two tall water falls. The trail is pretty steep, but it is worth it. Also check out Ave of the boulders. It gorgeous with boulders the size of semi trucks. Beautiful close up views of the rogue flowing over waterfalls. You can wade in a couple spots, though the water is pretty cold. It's a great place to explore and enjoy the beauty and power of the river.

No "trail", Unavoidable Poison Oak, Super Steep With Cliffs... a true "adventure"! When I did it, I told myself I would never do it again... and I like backwoods and hiking. The poison oak you can not avoid made it miserable... you just know what's coming for sure in the next couple days and think about it the whole time... also, I'm normally good at directions and came down a different way than going up, even when trying to go the same way. My husband got me to go again, but even he didn't make it up. And he got poison oak so bad he had to go on steroids. Before then, he could rub the plant on him and not get it. Guess it was just way too much exposure. Do it if you feel you need to, but it's not really worth it. The hole is tiny too, possibly big enough to sit in, but a cliff on one side of the hole, so kind of scary. The top of the hike, on the rocky part was fun, just not the rest of it. Even up there you climb through poison oak bushes..
