To get here take I-84 to Exit 41 and turn right follow the street all the way till it dead ends and park. It's a $5 day pass and please pay it as we saw lots of cars with tickets! This hiking spot is extremely busy...and for the small paths its a bit too busy! I would recommend not to bring children or animals on this hike as it does have some super steep cliffs with not alot of walking room.
On this hike I wore my new cargo knee length shorts, T-shirt, and brought a fleece jacket with me. As always, I suggest that you pack water, snacks, and maybe a lunch! If you choose to go into the water, bring extra clothes and shoes.
You can view 3 waterfalls on this hike and all three of them are amazing! If you are able to make it down to the water...getting up the hill is challenging and don't look for easier ways up. We saw lots of people trying to take a quick route out of the water and got stuck going at a 60 degree angle path! Bad news!!
Because I am klutzy...I hurt myself (again) hiking. I twisted my ankle..the same ankle from July. So make sure to watch were your walking, bring your trekking stick, and wear good shoes. This hike is rocky in places. If I didn't have my hiking boots on...I think I would have broken it this time!
FINAL THOUGHT
This is a perfect long hike for those new to hiking! This is a pretty flat hike (unless you head down to the water) and there is so much scenery to see. Also, since this is a very busy hiking trail there are people to talk to you in the event you get lost or have questions. I would recommend that you get here early (before 9am) or late (after 3pm).
