![]() I did not attempt getting too close to the falls as it did look deeper and I did not want to take my chances getting swept under□. The falls can be viewed from a corner but one must get in the waters to get the full experience up close! The water was surprisingly cold and pleasant not freezing! The water level today varied from the ankle to my thighs (I'm only 5'2") and the deepest near the falls up to 7' deep apparently returning from it. The trail becomes Crow Creek and we followed the outer more "difficult" to Mo Rocka, to Foxtail, and finally arrived at our destination Hidden Falls at 1o:45 with only several folks getting there so wasn't as crowded yet. ![]() This place could be a trail runners paradise □ The trails are all well maintained and easy despite the label of "extreme" and/or "moderate", and the highest elevation gain only 650 ft of that. We took several outer more challenging loops than the straight forward Crow Creek Trail to get more ice cream points for the day□. There is the Chameleon Rock where trad climbers can go and some bouldering nearby. Rock lovers would find this place pretty awesome with the cool rock formations of coarse granite. Thank goodness some of it is in the shade and got cooler as you got closer to the water stream. Started this trail at o9:2o from the Hidden Falls Trailhead located at the North Causeway parking lot and it was already warm. I am actually sharing with you a review of a hike to Hidden Falls. * If you prefer a totally natural experience, hot spots can be found in the river though it won’t be as hot as the pools. I exercised the hot/cold therapeutic practice of 3 minutes in the hot pool, 1 minute in the cold river, 3 times. There is space for quiet reflection or visiting, whatever you like. People were very generous with their stories and local advice. I’ve traveled the world and never been in a situation where I could meet so many friendly travelers and locals in such a short amount of time. I visited between 6-8 pm on a Thursday and 8-9 am on Friday.Īt one point, it looked like I was going to be alone at the pools and I thought I better leave, as a women traveling alone. 24-hour access, no matter when you arrive. But, I whole-heartedly recommend the municipal access Hobo springs, with bare-bones amenities. There are lovely resorts in the area that will give you a more pampered experience of the natural hot springs. ![]() A sublime detour for any road-trip or destination of it’s own.
