We did the Twin Falls hike early in the morning on a weekday. When we got there, only one car was in the parking lot. The trail is very clean and well looked after. There were a few wet spots, but they were easy to walk through. We also saw a few fallen trees, but you can easily step over them.
There are some small side paths that lead to the river, and you can get close to the water from there. The waterfall itself is beautiful, with a lot of water flowing down. It’s a great place to stop and enjoy the view.

We really enjoyed the Twin Falls hike and highly...

Parking lot is small and fills up super quick. Additional parking along the north side of the road leading up to the...
