  • Nice quiet walk on a level path for 3/4 of the way and then up a hill path the last 1/4 to view a lovely waterfall.

  • This is a nice little hike that’s not too far from the Rim Road. It takes about 20 minutes each way and is pretty flat until you get close to the falls where there’s a moderate ascent. Recommended.

  • Mostly level trail till right before the falls, then a quick ascent to the viewing area. In the fall, this cascades over many shelfs and is very picturesque.

  • Easy hiker. Nice gravel packed trail. Great with kids. They can see nature, accomplish a hike, but avoid tired legs. The hardest part is parking is limited.
  • Go early before others arrive! Small area to view falls. Pretty easy hike in with just a short uphill at the end.
  • The falls are beautiful, and accessible via an easy hike. There is a well groomed trail that takes you from the trailhead parking lot to the falls.
  • Very pretty waterfall with wildflowers growing all around it.
  • I mean... it’s beautiful but definitely not as big as I hoped. It’s more like a stream with one good access point (the actual falls) and a nice trail with many signs telling you to stay on the gravel path
