Glen Falls Trail

A bit of a hidden gem, though tricky to find.
The intersection on Unilocal is a little bit off. You have to go about a mile farther south and then there’s a small pulloff area with room for about 4 – 5 cars to park. I came here a day after rain, so some of the trails were muddy and even covered with a couple of inches of water in spots.
Either way, I walked the trail south, having no idea what to expect. It was scenic at first, with areas of overgrown ivy and the sound of water falling in the distance. I suddenly came upon the «main» waterfall and it was breathtaking. Not a huge waterfall, but still beautiful in its own right. The bridge crossing the falls might make you cringe, but I walked over in a few times and it seems sturdy enough.
If you continue south, you will come across a few other smaller waterfalls. I didn’t walk the entire stretch, as it was starting to get dark.
Overall, this was a nice place to walk/​hike and take photos of the waterfalls. Since it’s free, I’d highly recommend coming here if you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg, as apparently some nearby trails/​parks charge. The only downsides were limited parking and some of the trails being very wet, even after just a modest rainfall.

I agree with the other reviewers. This a beautiful hike. We were confused by the other hikers saying there were 3 «parking spots.» It is really just a pull out on the left side of the highway as you are going up. The hardest part was turning the car around. The traffic was heavy and it was hard to see cars. We recommend making a u-​turn when you turn into the pull out. The trail head sign is sort of hidden down the hill about 20 ft. Bring your camera. There are many photo opportunities.

Short hike to a beautiful waterfall. It’s an out and back hike, less than a mile each way, with a well marked, pretty wide path. We went on a very wet day after it had been raining for a few days, and the trail was still in good condition, without being too slippery or dangerous. The waterfall was very pretty, and we loved that we could climb above it to look down on it as well.
The parking area and trailhead are really just a turn off of Ochs Hwy just 200 yards past Saunders Road on the left if you’re going up the mountain. There is space for maybe 3 cars there, but we were the only ones on this day.

Warning: This trailhead is not easy to find.
Glen Falls is right off of Ochs Highway (just past Sanders Road) and the trail leads to waterfalls that are even more beautiful than you can imagine. This is a fairly easy hike, and it only takes about 15 minutes before you’ll start to hear the waterfalls. The elevation increases pretty quickly once you reach the falls– there’s a bridge, stone steps, and a little cave that brings you out to the very top. It’s a great escape to peaceful surroundings. Looking for the perfect place to propose? A hike that the kids can handle? Glen Falls has got you covered.
