Litlanesfoss — Attraction in undefined

Only hiked up to the first waterfall. It’s an easy trail, but straight uphill. Took us I think an hour round trip? There’s a little bridge around the first waterfall so we just did that little loop. We ended up there during a little rain/snow storm, so it was very windy and the higher up we got, the windier it got and the rain turned to sleet then snow.

The food truck was closed (Oct), and the eastside trail is undergoing improvements. Tackle this one early in the day before the clouds roll in if you're...
