I'm overweight so this was a tough climb for me. Waterproof shoes suggested for the couple streams you pass through. I didn't make it to the top, but it is a nice way to get into the woods. I didn't make it to the waterfall, and others on the trail didn't as well. Take the day, take some snacks, bring water as always, and enjoy nature. Not really any views on the trail, just a time to enjoy some tall trees and sheer mountainsides.

Love the woods and nature that is all around you. Can be steep at times but I think if my 3 year old could handle it pretty well pretty much anyone can. Very private and quiet. Played in the stream for a bit. We only went about a mile up because a storm was coming but there are many more trails to go on after that.

Great place for a hike if in the area! The cows were an added treat to see that we weren't expecting. We've done better hikes with better scenery but this is still worth the time and effort!

A beautiful walk through the mountains along side a mountain stream, a few places where you can see old rock walls built by the pioneers that made their homes in these mountains. An easy hike for the...
