The trail starts out with some pretty tough switchbacks and then flattens out to a slight incline till you get to the peak, then it's just a short downhill hike to the view. A very safe hike since it is usually pretty crowded and there is a helicopter landing pad at the halfway point. A very good view of the surrounding mountains that makes the hike totally worth it. There are also a few campsites on the peak that would be fun to backpack to.

I've been hiking this trail since I was a kid, mostly due to my recurring participation in the YMCA Camp Greenville Summer camp, and the falls have never ceased to take my breath away.
