What to expect and how to prepare: This moderate, well-maintained trail starts from the parking lot with an 859-foot elevation gain over 1.2 miles. The path is semi-steep but rewarding, with magical waterfalls and breathtaking views you won’t find anywhere else.

For an easier return, we’ll walk 1 mile down the main road back to the starting point.

What to Bring:

• Backpack – Keep your essentials handy while staying hands-free.
• Hiking boots or sturdy shoes – Trails can be rocky and slippery. Good footwear is a must.
• Water – Hydration is key, especially with the elevation gain. Bring a snack if you need extra energy.
• Layers – Mountain weather changes fast, so dress in layers and bring a light jacket.
• Sun protection – A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen will keep you comfortable.
• Camera or phone – Capture those Instagram-worthy waterfall views!
• Trekking poles (optional) – Helpful for stability on inclines, though I personally don’t use them.
• A sense of adventure! – The most important thing to bring!
