Chip Martin
Well defined trail paralleling cow creek the whole time. The majority of the elevation gain comes once you get closer to the falls (the last 1/4 mile). Not a lot of wildlife to report, mule deer at beginning and some curious chipmunks at the falls. The falls were pushing a lot of volume due to snow melt. I didn't go to the top of the waterfall but will have to next time!

Easy hike with a great payoff. Still snow the majority of the way up to the lake. Microspikes would have greatly helped us navigate a few slippery spots. High ankle boots are highly recommended as we came across a lady that had broken her ankle due to low ankle boots. She was assisted back to the trailhead by forest service.
