These falls are an easy out and back hike with a very steep descent for the last 50 yards or so to two separate falls. Sid's falls to the right branch of the trail and Magie Duke falls to the left branch. There is a rope strung along the descent to Magie duke falls to help get back up and is needed particularly with wet leaves covering the path. You can't get a great view of Magie Duke falls without doing some creative maneuvering to get closer once you reach the creek floor. Sid's fall is a beautiful natural wonder and well worth the short hike. You will not be disappointed. Parking is open and easy to find. I will go back again I am sure.....

Quite a pleasant surprise! A beautiful falls! Easy parking access. It was a great time as we experienced the blue ridge mountains/escarpment turning green! Not too far for older or younger hikers. We will be back.
