I was pleasantly surprised there was no trash in the area. The falls are raging as they slide down steeply.

Not a lot of people know about this little trail to the waters edge but enough people know about it that there's ample trash to be picked up every now and again. I managed the fill up a trash bag along the highway and along the trail inside the forest.

Truly a very short walk to the waterfalls from the parking area. The falls were very full from all of the snow melt and looked more like a very large set of rapids than an actual waterfall.
