The trail start just off the road and descends down stairs adjacent to the bridge. Technically this part of the trail is along the Siyeh Pass Trail. The trail will follow Baring Creek for the first bit but quickly diverges from there. At the junction about 0.3 miles in, stay right to reach the falls. From here the trail loops around back to the creek at the point of the falls.

The trail descends to the falls, so keep in mind that you will be heading uphill on your way back.

There is plenty of shade near the falls and many good points from which to enjoy the view. We also met a young buck near the falls.

When finished enjoying the falls, you can head back the way you came or continue along the Pigeon Pass Trail.
