Know Before You Go:

  • No dogs allowed on this trail.

  • Parking is limited so arrive early - there is some overflow parking in small pullouts along the road if you are comfortable parking on a slight incline.

  • A beautiful trail that follows the river the entire way to the falls.

  • One stream crossing towards the end of the trail can be a little tricky when water levels are high - water shoes or poles may be helpful.

  • Be sure to follow the trail all the way to the base of the falls for some epic views, the spray from the fall is a great way to cool off after the climb on a hot day.

  • Be sure to stop by the Christine Falls Viewpoint after your hike!
