A very nice area to visit and the middle falls is very impressive. It would be nice to have the upper falls open again.

Sharon and I went to these falls on a rainy day. We were soaked,but content. I was able to get some very beautiful pictures of wildflowers.

Little falls is really not with it. Big falls worth the trip and a very easy walk.

These falls are not worth visiting - go to another falls if you are going to invest the time.

From looking at pictures of this waterfall on the web, the Desoto falls is suffering greatly in the drought. It was still a very pretty waterfall and a nice, short hike. Easy access from a paved parking area (be prepared to leave $3 in the drop box). Hiked this trail on a late summer Saturday. Quite a number of people on the trail. Only real climb on this trail is to the "lower falls" It does some switchbacks up a steeper area, but it's only .25 miles from the parking area, so, not much of a climb.

I enjoyed this hike, but it was the wrong time of the year. Tough, muddy, had it blocked off where you couldn't go up as far as you would like to go. Evidently it was too dangerous.

Nice hike, do not be fooled by "Lower Falls" being the shorter hike as it is switchbacks and much steeper. 07-27-08.

Hiked both waterfalls on June 27, 2009 with Stephanie. Very easy pleasant trails. Both waterfalls are beautiful. Worth the trip.

Somewhat disappointing, maybe after a good rain. But any waterfall is worth the trip
