1. Cascade Falls Trail Hike: A Waterfall Wonderland

When you are looking for a hike that offers spectacular views without being terribly strenuous, so the Cascade Falls Trail very might be what you’re looking for. In fact, it usually takes just a couple of hours, the relatively easy path guides you through fragrant pine forests to, just, a breathtaking cascade waterfall. It’s quite the sight, especially in late spring or early summer when the water flow happens to be at its peak after the snow melts. I remember one trip when the wildflowers along the path, similarly to some vibrant welcome signs, seemed to be heralding our arrival at the falls. The cool mist rising from the cascading water just created a refreshing oasis after a very short hike. You’ll probably get snapshots that would make even professional photographers jealous, as well.

Just imagine delving into the depths of an underground cave, too, to unearth geologic features shaped, too, over who knows how many millennia.

As a matter of fact, it is very easy to traverse and really not so long. Exploring it only takes a couple of hours and you may spot stalactites and stalagmites or other intriguing rock structures that spark the imagination.
