The trails at McCloud falls cover 2.8 miles. Since I did not have enough time, I chose to drive up to the middle and upper falls. The middle one supposed to be the most beautiful. The upper falls were more rocky. They are both nice.

Nice waterfalls to view. About 5 minutes walk to the falls from parking lot. Not much of crowd and things to do other than few angles of viewing the gorgeous falls

Wow! Breath taking beautiful 😍 🀩. There is snow on the trails. We got to see icicles. I'm sure it's a whole different roll in the summer. The roads were closed. We walked a couple of miles before reaching the trail..

The upper section of McCloud river offers one of the most picturesque scenery in the area. The trees here seem to change at quicker rate to a vibrant yellow and orange over autumn. You can't really interact with the river unless you go out of your way, but there's quite a few good spots to enjoy the view. The trail back down to the mid portion is recommended as it has that wonderful pine, moss, and outdoorsy scent that's needed to complete the experience.

Best times are when the trails are open. Most places are closed in winter. I typically visit between spring and late fall before the heavy snowfall. The falls are really beautiful to look at and the hikes are worth it.
