Paths where well marked and taken good care of. It was a very short hike, about 10 mins downhill to the viewing platform. The waterfall was very impressive as it had rained for two days prior. Did encounter a lot of trash throughout, altho if there where trash cans provided it may help the litter.

Prepare to sit in traffic. If you're not hiking to the canyon floor, this is a nice alternative.

Questions & Answers

Is the laurel house trail accessible with kids?

The trail has a ton of stairs. If the kids can climb up and down then sure. I saw a few kids on the trail with their family. Just know the stairs are steep at one point. The hike down is easiest when dry. The hike up well that depends on your endurance and stamina.

Is this open?

Try going early morning to avoid lines to park

How far is the viewing platform from the parking area above the falls? How is the walk? Could a old decrpid man with a cane and oxygen tank walk it?

I want to say it's less than half a mile, across a bridge, and not much elevation change.
