Description
Added by jeremiah Yoak
This family-friendly mile and half hike leads to the stunning 136 foot Burgess Falls.
If you like waterfalls, this hike is for you. Along the way you'll pass by Falling Water Cascades (20 ft), Little Falls ( 30 ft), Middle Falls (80 ft) and finally the main event, Burgess Falls (136 ft). There are a few spots for swimming so bring your suit if it's a warm day.
It's an easy hike suitable for children, but be sure to wear good shoes with grip - it can get slippery towards the end at the big waterfall.
You'll find the trailhead on the west side of the parking lot - it is well signed.
