Summary:
This hike is short. From your car head to the visitor station. From here you can see the falls. There is a short set of stairs leading up to a bridge that crosses the top of the falls.




The Falls are very close to the parking lot and are easy to see.




There is a short trail to a bridge that passes over the creek above the falls. This is also the start of the Spoon Falls trail.
