This area was one of our goals for hiking and geocaching. We hiked almost five and a half miles with approximately five hundred feet of ascension. A january fifty degree sunny day. The views were beautiful, and there were several eagles. The locks were interesting, and we enjoyed the history. We rated our hike moderate because we took the upper trail to the falls and not the straight trail to the falls. We did the entire blue loop trail, which has several Topo lines and beautiful views.

Took my Toddler, 6 year old and adult child (aka Hub) on this hike. Waterfall was smaller than expected as. We made it to up about 3 switchbacks before realizing that was the fall. Kept going to top of whichever peak is to three right. 6 year old enjoyed leaf sliding down between switchbacks. I would imagine gorgeous during fall. Peaceful and anybody not in a wheelchair (IMO) can make it to see the waterfall.
