Beautiful early morning hike to the falls and eventually up to Deer Lake. With the rain falling that morning, and all the snow melt flowing, the hike is magical. Vibrant, almost neon green moss pulsing off of massive old growth trees. Stopped for many photo opportunities.
The roar of the falls greets you first, as you pass beside a hiking shelter. Then you descend down to the full throated cacophony of sound and cross over the gorge, to a mist shrouded viewing deck. Truly spellbinding. The entire main amphitheater of these falls, makes you feel like you’ve either stepped back in time, or into a fantasy realm. Doing it all in the rain ups the ante on that.
There are a couple other trails that branch off to the right once you cross the main bridge: Lovers Lane and Deer Lake. The latter is a thigh burner and quad killer. Lovers lane has some beautiful falls as well that aren’t too far off the main trail.
