Gorgeous hike and falls. As of May 2017, the green rope marker mentioned in the article has been removed, though Rainbow Falls is still accessible. If you're up for a little bushwhacking, upstream of Rainbow Falls there's another cool little waterfall to see. I found it by leaving the main trail shortly after the second bridge and following the stream downstream to Rainbow Falls. If you go this way, be very careful making your way down the cliff at Rainbow Falls when you reach it, or head back to the main trail and take the usual way down to the falls.
