This is a very well maintained trail, some beautiful views and if you go far enough the opportunity to see multiple waterfalls. There are more than a few hills to hike up and overall it's a medium rated trail But worth the effort if you are up for it. It's about 2 mi in to the larger Hemlock Falls, definitely a place you should visit.

Amazing trail! It runs along a stream of river and beautiful rocks and trees surround it. The waterfall can be accessed from both sides of the trail. The trail is moderate in difficulty. The total distance is about 4 miles from the parking area to the waterfall and back. It's an out and back trail. The elevation gain is decent and the twists and turns keep the trail interestsing. There are changing rooms at the trailhead but no washrooms. Adding a washroom would be nice. I would love to come here again!

An absolutely beautiful trail! Definitely wear hiking shoes, the trail is rocky and covered with leaves that can make it slick. So be prepared to get muddy and wet. It is a long 2mi of ups to the waterfall. I’m not in great shape but it was fine after taking a few breaks. The parking area is small, I got there at 10am on a Friday and there was only 2 other cars. When I left at 1pm the parking was full. Bring CASH to pay for the day pass. I read some reviews saying there’s a place to swim. I did not see any place to swim along this trail. You cannot get down to the bottom of the waterfall.

I have been looking for a climb like this nearby that helps me train for 14er's.6 miles, 600 stairs and 4 waterfalls with restrooms at the top. 1100ft of elivation gain but small parking lot. Loved it.

It's named for an early settler who operated a mill on what is now known as Sitton's Gulch creek. Source: https://woodlandsandwaters.wordpress.com/tag/sittons-gulch/

If I hike up the valley is there a good place to park your vehicle at the bottom of the canyon?
