Approx. 1.5mi access road to trailhead can be muddy because of recent logging activity

Need to Know

The dirt/gravel road into the trailhead has been extra muddy lately because of logging activity. A small stream must be forded just before the parking area,

Description

The first mile is an easy level stroll alongside the creek. Then, the trail to the upper falls forks left. The right fork takes you to the lower falls. The left fork becomes a foot trail with some hill hugging with slight elevation changes and later, switchbacks that take the trail down to below the twin falls. The falls are quite impressive, especially when the creek has a lot of water in it. The trail continues down stream to the lower falls. The right fork takes you up a ridge and then down to the lower falls. The forks intersect about 0.2 from the lower falls.

Flora & Fauna

Beware of a wicked thorn covered bush / shrub with long shoots that were 1-2 inches in diameter. These will leave a mark!
