The road is closed October-May, but the trail is still accessible.

Description

This is a very easy, short trail to a cool waterfall! It is mostly flat, and worth it at the end. Wear shoes you can get wet. This trail is very busy, and parking often is limited. There is additional parking just off the main road, but will add an addition 1/2 mile to the run.

Started at the trailhead, ran to the falls, then all the way back to the road (that's where the extra mileage came from) 2mi
