The falls and the hike are beautiful and kid friendly enough for children 5 and up. I wanted to bring something to anyone's attention that reads this though. My husband, children and I were at our car getting ready to go in, am older Caucasian male, white hair, possibly a small amount of white facial hair, average to bigger build, that appeared to be in office type clothing, came in shortly after us and went into the trails by himself. As we entered maybe 5 minutes after him, he was someone right there, right behind us, and followed us up toward the falls. He was following very closely behind us, almost uncomfortably close and we were on a steep narrow path. As soon as we got off the steep path we booked it, as unsuspiciously as possible, somewhere where we felt safer with our kids. At some point we were able to see this gentlemen down by the falls, making a phone call.

Read moreVery nice hike. The main trail is easy to get close to the falls. I would rate the last 1/4 mile to the top of the falls as moderate. The trail to the bottom of the falls is marked as difficult. We did not try it. Falls are not much to look at when its been so dry. I was told after a good rain or in the spring it better view. Side trails do not seem to be maintained very well. Trails are not marked very well either. I used Back Country Navigatior XE with US Topographical Maps loaded so I knew...
