Great trail...it is very rocky/bouldery which makes going downhill a bit tough if you're not in good hiking shape. The waterfall is lovely. The hike back is tough incline-wise if you're not in good hiking shape. In other words, if you're used to mountain hiking with rocks, this is an easy hike. If you're not used to mountain hikes, you may feel quite a bit winded on the hike back. Also, it's street/parallel parking. And a lovely drive to/from this spot.

Fun hike, mostly woodland trail with lots of rocks. A few small plank bridges and muddy spots. A rock scramble at the end to the falls. 0.3 miles one way by my Garmin. All downhill to the falls which you guessed it means all uphill on the way back (not 90 degrees, very doable). The falls are beautiful and you can get right at the base.

Beautiful falls!! But a rough trail - lots of rocks and uneven. But not very long so it's bearable.

Easy hike; even for those without much mind for fitness. Not a lot of steep inclines; well managed trail with plenty of natural steps. Large rock face to climb, but not a lot of sweeping views due to overgrown vegetation. Still a fun hike without too much of a challenge.

There is also an entrance on the right that is not as steep up from that parking if needed.

How many miles is the trail, altogether? And how how many waterfalls are there?

If you add the other trail to complete a loop (i think its called the loggers trail) its a little over a mile. 1 nice waterfall with lots of views. The loggers trail is a bit steep but but manageable if in ok shape. Careful to find the trail at the bottom of the falls. Go toward the dirt road and notice the planks over some of the creek. Its a nice hike! Take your time and enjoy!
