Grueling uphill climb; not for beginners. Bring ample supply of water during summer months.
Miriam:
Beautiful views of the Flathead Valley. Look for the waterfall hidden off the uphill side of the trail about 2 miles in. When you come to the first creek to cross, head up along the creek. Waterfall is just a short jaunt up.
Emily:
Not grueling at all. A very easy hike.Also not a peaceful walk.
