3.1-mile out-and-back trail near Arnold, California. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 31 min to complete.
It is a very easy hike to the viewpoint, where you can see a spectacular 89 ft. cascade. Some parts of this route are very easy to slip and lose traction on, so not the best path for small children.
