The Hike: From where you park look for the trail on the left (south) of the parking lot. The trail begins with a gentle descent to the river and then follows the river for a few hundred metres. The trail has had some washouts closer to the waterfalls but is still easily traversable. Keep an eye on the trail as it can be easy to miss, especially on your way out.
