Hike Summary: Start at the trail head, the entire trail is very well laid out so there is no confusion. When you reach the bottom you will see a wonderful waterfall that you can walk behind and a swimming hole. Warning though, the water is cold. Continue to the left and you will reach a second waterfall which is empty most of the time. You have to hike/climb down but once you do you feel like you are in a jungle with a gorgeous water fall. You can swim there and you can always walk pretty far out because the water stay shallow for quite awhile. This hike is seriously amazing. And since it is out of the way, it doesn't get too over crowded.
