Moon Falls Trail Description
For anyone looking to be wowed by incredible waterfall scenery without the need to hike for hours through the backcountry, the Moon Falls Trail is the perfect excursion. Easy to traverse and extremely short, the views along this route pack a punch for the low amount of effort required.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way east through the serene woodland terrain, taking in the beauty of the landscape as you arrive at the edge of Alex Creek. Here, you will find the majestic waters of Moon Falls that cascade down a rock face covered in moss.
