Not too far from Mooney falls. The trail down to the falls is about a mile but worth the treck. There are a couple of falls to see on the way down. Take your time and enjoy the beauty.

Mar 28, 2026 · Google ReviewEverything online says this is a half mile trail. Not true. It’s more like a whole mile in and a whole mile out. The trail isn’t paved or anything so wear appropriate footwear like hiking shoes. We didn’t make it to the falls but the scenery alone along the trail was beautiful. Great opportunities for nice photos. I will be back to finish the trail soon.
