Hike Summary:	This is a really rocky trail. I refer to this trai type as a billy goat trail. There are steep switchbacks and lots of rocks. It is quite beautiful and quiet in the woods. If you are looking to get out, this is definitely out there. You will not hear any road noise, so it is definintely a peaceful walk. I went in August, and there was no water in the "falls" but the rock formations were fun to look at. I did the trail counter-clockwise. Not sure if there is a "best way."
