After you go over the collapsed tunnel, look right. The trail is pretty steep in places, but it is well worth the hike. If you continue past the falls, you can hit Rosa peak. Be prepared though...If you go to the summit of Rosa, it is a 12 mile round trip hike.

I frequently take small groups of young Boy Scouts on this trail. We will start early in the morning and plan to spend lunch at the falls which is a wonderful, refreshing reward for the hike. We have also continued up beyond the falls where we found wonderfull areas to camp overnight.

WE NEVER DID FIND IT AFTER 2 1/2 HRS. WALKING. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE MORE SIGNS.DOES THE TRAIL START AFTER YOU GO OVER THE TUNNEL?? WE GOT BACK ON THE 'ROAD'...MAYBE THATS WHY???

Had a great hike Sunday July 11. Wildflowers in full bloom - Yucca, Wild Roses, even saw wild raspberries. Trail was in good shape. Very steep approaching the falls. Mileage signs seem deceptive when they say 0.2 miles to the base of the falls (seems longer). Falls themselves were beautiful.
