Easy going down; tougher coming back up. But the waterfalls were really pretty. Love the sound of the water and rhodendron-lined trails. Road to get there not too bad, but last mile is gravel. Full review by TallyWriter

There are three waterfalls/viewing platforms -- maybe a half mile to first, another half mile to second and another half mile to third. Downhill all the way in and then uphill all the way out. Allow energy and time for coming back up. Beautiful falls and hike.

A:
Room for probably 20-25 vehicles in a gravel/dirt lot at the trailhead. It is a beautiful hike. Be aware that it is downhill going in and uphill all the way back out.
