From the Teneriffe Falls Trailhead, we will take the Mount Teneriffe and Teneriffe Falls trails up to the falls viewpoint. The switchbacks leading up to the falls are quite rocky, so sturdy footwear is advised and bring trekking poles if you find them helpful. We will pause at the falls viewpoint for photos, then we will descend to the junction with the Teneriffe Falls Connector trail, and we will take about a 10 minute snack break along that trail. We will extend the hike by follow the connector trail to the Mt Teneriffe trail, then descend to the Talus Loop and Roaring Creek trails, before returning to the Mt Teneriffe trail to return to the trailhead.
