  • Really great hike that isn't crowded. Almost immediately will begin ascent along the river and lower falls. Enjoy the mist. Feels nice when it's hot. Rest of the trail is a consistent incline. Really amazing to be at the top next to the roaring water. 5.2017
  • ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I actually just filmed a Vlog on my YouTube channel (Dana Henson) highlighting this hike! It was fantastic and there are some great waterfall oasis along the way. Pack tons of water and snacks, as this is a grueling hike.
