The trail wasn’t well marked and the trail map we got at a nearby kiosk wasn’t very accurate, but other than that this was a great short hike.
From the trailhead, follow the path straight under the wooden arch until it comes to a split. This is where the loop starts. There’s a couple flights of stairs in the middle of the loop, so if you’d rather go down the stairs turn right at the split and go across the bridge.
We went left and got confused when the dirt trail terminated at a paved trail. There was no useful signage here (just an arrow pointing back the way we came), but we turned right because we could hear the waterfall.
The trail descended gently into the valley and paralleled the stream before climbing a few flights of stairs. The stairs were shallow with a graspable rail so they were fairly easy.
At the top there were several viewpoints of the falls and some benches. From there the trail ascended gently until we crossed the sturdy wooden bridge. We turned left to head back to the trailhead.
The falls were still full even though it hadn’t rained in awhile and the interpretive signage was interesting. The trail itself was in good condition and not crowded even though it was a Saturday with good weather. We will definitely be back again.
