This trail starts easier and as we approach the Falls becomes more 'moderate' in difficulty. Families are welcome with youth 8 yrs/+ old. good views of the Falls from the trail once we get there. Weather likely will remain 'unsettled' so be sure to bring rain gear to avoid getting cold & wet.

We will meet at the South Hill Park N Ride on Hwy 512, near the South Hill Mall, at 7:30 AM, to car pool to trailhead.
