The Cairn Chronicles

I took a group on this hike today with the impression that is was easy. It was not. While it is an incredibly beautiful hike, it is moderate to strenuous. The trail maps could be more detailed and a few more signs with information would be nice.

This was my third hike here and it is one of my favorites. It is a difficult hike once you start up the switchbacks to the waterfall. My fitbit trekked it at just under 7 miles (Did some running here and there to get pics). Other websites say 4 (which I believe is incorrect since EVERYTIME I have done this I have had a different tracking device and they all are relatively close to the six miles being correct). A beginner could do this, if they are in relaively good shape. It is packed on the weekends. I suggest going mid week to avoid the crowds.

Beautiful falls, but a bit difficult to navigate. Not a long hike to get to, but will be challenging for newbies to hiking.
