Summary
This is a great quick trial for the non-seasoned hiker. The trail is 3 miles round trip. You can view this 75 foot horsetail type waterfall from a 240 foot suspension bridge that is 100 feet above the creek. This trail is accessible year round but to the best time is in the spring and fall after the rains have put water in the falls. The total elevation is 929 feet at the start of the trailhead 630 feet at the suspension bridge and 532 feet at the River’s edge. There is vault toilet at the trailhead.I'll work at getting some better pictures this year. All mine were taken in 1999 with a cheap point and shoot.
