excellent hike for young children. With a 6 yr old with lung issues and a 3 year old, the hike was no problem. Short and to the point with beautiful scenery and an awesome spectacle at the end. My kids loved it.

We were here a week ago Friday. The trail is still in excellent condition and the falls and creek were much more full and beautiful today !

This trail is in excellent shape! We had rain the entire time, but this adds to the beauty of the falls! The 1.6 miles round trip with only 250 feet of elevation gain is a good "starter" hike for a week-end of hiking!

After an easy walk up a well-maintained trail (my nine year old nearly ran the whole thing!), we were treated to a perfect view of the falls. We were unable to get behind the falls as the falls were a little more ferocious than previous reports describe, but the overlook provides an excellent view. Cap this off with a beautiful drive through the forest to get to the trailhead and it is well worth it!

Beware of: snow conditions
 
Snow on FS Rd. 2510 past Ranger Hole to Murhut turn off, but we did fine in our low clearance sedan. A few blow downs in road but none impassable. The trail was in good shape, a little snow and a hemlock blown across the trail. Great short hike, allow extra time for scrambling up the far side to the upper falls. Don't forget your rain gear though, a bit on the damp side up top. Really great alcove behind the upper falls if you're up for slippery rocks. The wood debris in and around the river were quite impressive, as was the dripping moss in a chute just to the right. We were planning to take the short hike to Ranger Hole as well, but work crews were there today and we decided to skip it.
