10.6 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
It was quite crowded in the parking lot and so we decided to avoid the main trail to the Falls and loop around on the bike trail. We then visited the falls overlook, where a large group of hikers were admiring the view. We then continued on up the trail to the small Falls near a campsite. We met some hikers and took group pictures for them. We continue NE toward the horse camp and broke out into a swamp area where the lookout from Red Mt. could be seen. We turned around and then decided to visit Falls Creek Falls, hoping there wouldn't be many people there this late in the day, but plenty of people were still at the falls. Despite the crowd, Falls Creek Falls is nothing short of breathtaking! What a fantastic hiking day!

Hi Jen! We've stood above the Falls Creek Cave but never ventured down there. I hear it's a very large cave and is quite amazing! We're not much of the caving types but it might be nice to venture in a short distance sometime. Thanks again!

Next time you're up there, be sure to explore the Falls Creek Cave. So much fun! Non technical, just need headlamps. Bring kids
It's right along the northern portion of the trail where it crosses the FS road, about 1/2 mile before the horse camp.
