For a winter hike, surprisingly little mud on the trail. The location is sheltered from SW winds by a ridge.
This hike has it all: just enough elevation gain to reach a good workout heart rate, up close to a dynamic river, dripping mosses, dramatic waterfalls, close to home. For a tad more elevation gain and 10 minutes more workout, we continued past the upper viewing platform, maybe less than a quarter mile, before turning around. Both vault toilets were open, clean and well-stocked. A Discover Pass can be purchased at the TH. Total 3 mi, 600' elevation gain.
