Runner Notes

Good flat trail with some steep stairs.

Description

While the crowds are heading over the bridge towards Erwins View Trail, head east to get on the trail. Pass Duggers Creek Trail to your left and continue along, rising slowly above the river.

A third of a mile in the trail loops back in on itself. Heading either direction you'll come to a steep stairway down to the water. Enjoy the water and the falls and then head back up the other side. Either way you go, make sure to turn around and enjoy the views.
