Added by Megan Eyre

This hike is one I'll definitely come back to! The 40 foot waterfall at the end was incredible and something you need to see!

This hike is about 3.5 miles round trip. You gain 1187ft in elevation. It took me about 2 hours to complete. The scenery is stunning and you have an awesome view for the first .5 miles of it. Then you get into some shade and follow the trail that's adjacent to the river all the way up to the beautiful 40 ft waterfall. We thought we had made it at least two times because there are smaller waterfall type parts on the trail. Little did we know how big and beautiful the actual waterfall would be! The trail is moderate and is dog friendly. Make sure to cool off at the top under the spray of the waterfall before heading back down.

As you start off, there are a few steep and sandy switchbacks. They don't last too long but on a hot day it can seem like forever. After that, the trail will continue to be steep but won't switchback nearly as often. Follow the trail through the fo...
