Fairly well worn path with some rocks. Great hike for those new to hiking. It feels remote, fairly easy, short, and a great payoff at the end for the falls. The one stream crossing has flat rocks nicely positioned for a dry crossing | Fairly well worn path with some rocks. Great hike for those new to hiking.
