Initially, you will begin hiking on the Hurricane Creek trail. In a very short distance, turn right onto the Falls Creek trail.
The full Falls Creek trail is a monster, climbing over 4,000 feet in just a few miles. The side trail to the falls turns off the Falls Creek trail, less than a few hundred yards from the parking lot.
As you head up Hurricane Creek, be sure to fork right at the signed junction. Five minutes later you’ll encounter another, less obvious trail to your left. This is the trail to the falls. This narrow trail sidehills for a hundred yards quickly gaining elevation, then losing it.
When you’ve reached the stream bed, continue to your right as far as you’d like. 9000-foot peaks, clad in snow, peek out in the background. Imagine their snow-melt making its way to this waterfall. Enjoy your stay.
Traveling further up Hurricane Creek is easily done by bearing left at the first signed trail junction.
