Very beautiful! There were a lot of people there though. I wouldn't recommend bringing your dog or children unless you plan on only seeing the 1st waterfall. Definitely worth the drive to get there.

The trail was great, there's a waterfall, streams, reflecting pool w/ rainbow lol. As far as the physical part is was pretty demanding and had us scaling the sides of a rock wall (looking back on it we made it harder than it probably had to be but thats the fun of the hike), sliding down steep downgrades (watch your grip on the rocks toward the top as they are brittle), and jumping over streams. Best part is once you hit the top of the falls as when we went it seemed like no one wanted to venture that far up and the view was incredible. My only complaint is that I wished it was longer, great day trip

Great hike, family friendly not to streneous... However there is a bit of a walk up a winding hill in a resedential area before you walk down to where the trail head begins. Also parking is free but limited. I recommend packing a light snack.

Plenty of shade, I recommend packing a light snack to enjoy when you reach the waterfall.
