An easy short hike with several pleasant views along the way. The falls at the end of the trail descend in several areas, and can be observed through a veil of trees. In addition to the falls, the shoals on the two interfacing creeks are also nice. Best to photograph in the morning. The afternoon sun shines in the valley rather brightly.

The hike, for the most part, is uninteresting. Very developed, meaning either a boardwalk or a wide gravel path. Definitely not a pristine, natural experience. The falls are stunning, though.

Good trail suface and a very relaxing hike considering the change in elevation (kept tame by the triple switchback). Very nice observation decks and nice views of old growth forest. The falls were not overly impressive but still made for a worth while hike.

Nice, easy trail with nice views at the bottom. I went the day after a lot of rain so the falls were great.
