Great hike! The last mile or so really killed my legs but so worth a little pain. Still had a little snow above 4k, people sliding down as im going up. Great views from every angle on the top and the waterfall is beautiful and so peaceful. Next time ill complete all 3 on that path when im in better shape.

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to go hiking. Quite a workout, but well worth it! Glad to see it is very popular with people! However, the mileage is a bit off. The sign at the trailhead says 3.3 miles...!? Nonetheless, me and my aunt enjoyed our day!

This trail was great! Easy walk along a nice shaded wooded trail. The creek is low on water so you can even walk along the creek bed in several spots. We saw many children having fun walking along the creek bed. The waterfall itself is absolutely beautiful and should not be missed!!! We drove 5 hours to get here and it was worth it!! Will be back again

A great hike. The views of the gorge are beautiful from down below or at the top. Going down be careful on the stairs...going up those same stairs...be advised, there a lot of them! I will let you count. Well worth the trek! I go at least once in the 3 good seasons.

A very nice hike on a beautiful spring day. A modest effort for a very pretty view. We even saw a porcupine ambling across. The trail.

High quality trail with a tough uphill section and a much less strenuous path of stone steps on the way down. The only problem is that up at the top by the tower finding your way back onto the trail is difficult.

Easy hike. Opens up into a huge meadow and trail leads into the woods. Eventually you will end up at a small lake. It has a grass area that's nice to sit and relax on and take in the view. You're at elevation but can't really see much. Parking is tight, only room for about 4-5 cars.

This is a nice hike some great views of the lakes. It can be a little tough for newer hikers. There are a couple places where you go on a steep incline. I thought there were some nice rock scrambles going up. The fire Tower was great to be up on and had amazing views. Would recommend to other hikers.
