Story:
Doughnut falls is an easy hike for both old and young. I took my entire extended family including young kids, 2 pregnant ladies (one was my wife). My 2 year old son walked the hike by himself. Needless to say this is a fairly short hike. You can easily be up and back within 1.5 hours. The hike gains very little elevation. Right before you reach the falls there is a couple of rocks that you have to climb down, but with a little help anybody should be able to do it. Once you get to the falls you have a opportunity (which you should take if you are up to the task) to climb to the top of the falls and watch the water pour through the opening (the doughnut hole) in the mountain and rush out of the cave below, this is a technical climb and care should be taken as you can easily fall on the slippery rocks. If you are not able to climb up to the top of the falls you can admire them from the bottom. It is well worth you hike either way.

Tips:
Take a pair of sandals so you can cross the stream easily and hike out with dry feet. Especially if it is in the spring and there is a high run-off.
