Forecasted for rain, but we did not get any. Some standing water and lots of mud an the trail off of the gravel road. A few downed trees. The spur trails down to the lower and middle falls were slippery but passable. With the current near record flow over the falls it is not recommended to descend all the way to the rocks at the base.
Great free, no permit parking. Clean porta-potty with paper! Trail in very good condition given all of the recent rain. The hike from the parking lot to the middle falls , with a stop at the lower falls was about 4.8 miles with 600ft of elevation.
