This trail is rated difficult. A friend and I hiked it I mid April 2020. I consider myself fairly fit and felt the trail was easy in difficulty. My friend who considers herself not-so-fit, felt the trail was technically easy, but moderate in length. During warmer months, I would recommend starting early as there is some sun exposure and the hike back from the falls is generally 4.5 miles uphill.
Warning: Lots of broken glass in the trailhead parking area. Highly likely that hikers leave valuables visible in their locked cars and return to find they no longer have a window and get better fuel economy on the drive home due to lighter loads. Hide your valuables.
