7.6 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
This was hike 1 of 2 for the day so I hit the trailhead early. When I arrived at 630, there was only one other car in the lot. It was a peaceful morning as I didn't see anyone until I was past the 5 mile mark of the hike and half way back to the rig. I really enjoyed the hike, although I thought the top part of the loop was less scenic then the lower loop that I took on the way in. I guess I should be more specific. The Top loop heading to the overlook above the falls was great, but the part from the primitive cut-off trail back to the trailhead is what I referring to. All and all, it was a great start to a great day on the trail.
