What you'll see 💧 Waterfall

Pets are not allowed on this hike. The steep descent following a stream to this beautiful waterfall is one of the Park's most traveled trails. This trail is short, but very steep and rocky. The return climb is challenging! Know your limits and take your time, especially when the trail is wet and slippery. Distance: 1.4-mile circuit hike Difficulty: Moderate ( hiking difficulty scale ) Hiking Time: 1 hour 15 minutes Elevation Gain: 440 feet Hike Description From the trailhead at the Dark Hollow Falls Parking Area (mile 50.7), descend 0.75-mile down to the falls. Return by the same route, up to the parking area.

Tips
Pets are not allowed on this trail. Downhill to the falls means all the climbing is on the way back, which catches people out. The car park fills by mid-morning at weekends.
