It was a great day for a hike. It was overcast and just a bit chilly. There were nine of us on this 4.9 mile hike which took us just under 4 hrs. As you can tell by the time the hike took that we didn't move very fast. There were lots of overlooks which enabled us to see some fall color. I'm a bit color blind so I have to take everyone's word for that. I could tell the the views were absolutely beautiful. We took a snack at a beautiful overlook and then started our return. I would rate this hike as easy. Four of the hikers elected to return via the lower trail. You can see their picture below the waterfall. All in all it was a very nice hike and I think everyone enjoyed it.
