The trail has its ups and downs along the way.  With it being mid-week with not so great weather we had no problem parking on the road near the trailhead. 

Just before the falls, we had to cross Hannan Creek which involved a bit of rock hopping. 

I had removed my rain jacket and rain pants during the hike as they weren't needed and were too warm.  At the falls, we took some photos, and the rain started up a bit.  I reverted to the rain jacket, but I again took it off on the hike out as again it wasn't needed. 

After the falls we climbed a steep trail to the top of the falls.  I'd hoped we could return w/out having to go back down that trail, but the trails we found went the wrong way, so we had to descend the steep trail before heading back to the trailhead.
