Another incredible hike to a place few know about. Surprisingly easy to navigate along an obvious, unblazed trail. The hike up featured tunnels through mountain laurel. There were vistas from cliffs, crevasses, and rock mazes overlooking deep forested valleys and ridges. The view was untouched. Nearby someone placed rocks to write the words "Love You". There was also mazes of separated bedrock with deep crevasses and cracks. We explored some of them. On the hike down, we explored an unnamed, nearby creek to stumble upon a stunning 50 foot falls in a cliff lined grotto, and 4 other 10 foot falls. My expectations were blown away by this hike, hard to believe these falls are not well-known. I have never "found" such a substantial waterfall while having no idea or clue that one was there. It was also great to finally hike in the snow.

Sure. There are lots of other great hikes in the area. Base camp at Worlds End SP and there are over a dozen quality hikes within a reasonable drive to waterfalls, gorges, big rocks, and views.
