I had hiked this a couple summers ago with my family and I wanted to do it alone so I could stay and get all the pictures I wanted without feeling like I was holding anyone up. The trail was in pretty good condition, until you get to the upper trail. On the upper trail, there is a fallen tree blocking the path, however it is relatively easy to crawl over if you want to. Up the trail more, there is a staircase and the staircase is partially collapsed, not safe, and the railing feels like it's going to fall off any minute.
The views for the waterfalls is gorgeous, however and definitely worth the trip. If you want to get really good pictures of the falls, I suggest bringing a towel or another pair of shoes and/or socks. The water is very cold just a warning. There are a few mosquitos, bees and gnats, so I strongly suggest bringing bug spray. I did not and I paid the price. There is also multiple picnic tables along the creek for a cute place to have a nice lunch.
Overall, this is a wonderful little hike, suitable for children but maybe not toddlers. The waterfalls provide a gorgeous backdrop, but remember bug spray and a small towel if you plan on getting your feet wet.
