 Rocky Mouth Falls

Hikers:  us, Landon and his crew, Daniel and his kids

Distance:  .7 miles

Elevation gain: 282 feet

Rocky Mouth Falls is a very family friendly hike and it is a go to, with or without kids, because it is close, quick and a rewarding hike with waterfalls at the end. The small parking lot fills up but there is parking on the road.  All trails calls it moderately challenging.  That is probably not based on the distance but on the fact that it is all uphill.  The first half is walking through a neighborhood and then you are going up the mountain.  Stairs at first and then a trail.  The reward is the falls at the end.  

These are the stairs that take you from the parking lot to the neighborhood.

Now we are on the trail, with the kids being carried.  

Exploring the falls!  There's not a lot of water this time of year but its always cool by the falls and a good place to explore.  It looks like we color coordinated for photos but it was just coincidence!
