This short and enjoyable trail leads hikers out to the stunning Secret Falls, where there is plenty of space to enjoy your day. The route begins from the Secret Falls Trail Parking Lot, accessible from Walking Stick Road.

The trail itself is decently maintained. The steps down to the waterfall are in good shape but steep. The hike back from the falls is quite a steep climb back up the steps before levelling out and bringing you back to the parking lot. There is no cell reception in the area, so download the map before heading out if you wish to keep an eye on the route.

Kayakers use this trail to drop in for the rapids that are created on dam release days, so as difficult as it is going down, know that people can do it while also carrying a kayak.

The trail is downhill 99% of the way, which means it’s uphill 99% of the way back. It loses almost 600 feet of elevation, and there are almost 700 rock steps to get down to the bottom. THIS. TRAIL. IS. HARD.

It begins as gravel for the first quarter before turning to dirt and increasing the decline grade. Take your time and you’ll be fine. Once you get to the rock steps, you’ll keep winding your way down to a spot at the base. If the river is raging like it was on the day I went, the spray will make it difficult to get pictures or video.
