What should have been a fun and amazing day was seriously marred by two large dogs that came our of nowhere from behind us, fighting each other, teeth bared, growling, and seriously frightening the c…Full review by Tom R

It is a nice hike, beautiful scenery. Not for beginners or those with small children (no way to bring a stroller). The lack of any bathroom facilities is kind of surprising, but as long as you've r…Full review by deborahcH3492LX

I recently visited this site and checked with the DNC website before visiting. I found the policy that stated, 'leashed pets' were welcomed. I would recommend double checking to make sure their policy has not changed. I brought my 35lb lab and it was doable. I will say it was a fairly difficult trail and can be challenging for a human or pet that is not very fit. Be sure to bring plenty of water for your 4 legged friend. Have fun!

hi, do we need to climb over the rocks or walk through some wet area/rocks during the trail? as we have 2 kids, one is 1.5 yrs and one is almost 4yrs, we will carry the 1.5yrs old one, but not sure if the trail is too tough for an almost 4 years old kid to walk? and is it possible for us to walk with baby in carrier? By the way, late May will it be a good time to see the waterfalls there? (because in some months, may be no water for the falls). Thanks.

Hi! There are a few rocks to climb over, but nothing unusual and I saw a number of people with babies in carriers. My only suggestion is to go after it's been relatively dry -- we went the day after a pretty hard rain and there were some muddy areas. Our almost 5-year-old had no issues with the trail but did slip a couple of times because things were still kind of wet. The waterfalls are very small but there have always been a few features to see on the occasions we've gone. I think late May would be a great time to visit. Have fun!
