We felt like we were lost driving up to this trail, since it starts at the back of a neighborhood. Must be nice to live here and have this as your running route! It’s a lovely little trail through dense forest that slopes down to the river and across some bridges until it reaches the waterfall. The locals we ran across lamented the fact that we weren’t seeing it in better condition, with more water, but I thought it was very pretty nonetheless. Definitely worth the 30 minute stop if you’re passing through!
