Two couples & three dogs on this hike & we all had a great time! We did 7 miles & began the hike with the quick mile hike to the arches where we explored the tops as well. We continued our loop & were continuously amazed at every turn at the beauty. It truly felt like we were transported first to out west and then to a tropical island with the rocks & fauna. We followed a gorgeous creek for a while & I think it’s the prettiest creek I’ve ever seen. A couple of notes—there are two bathrooms at the trail head, there are stairs (at least in the route we took?)that are quite steep. Someone who struggles with normal stairs might find this too challenging.

Hiked this trail with my teenager to the observation point on the top. Took the two of us about 2 1/2 hours round trip with multiple stops for photos and catching breath. There were a few going up to the summit by going around the gate but we turned around from the viewpoint. The trail was pretty good. Even though a steep hike, there were steps in many areas, which was helpful as it rained a lot the day before we were there and drizzled here and there during our hike. There were 4 bridges and beautiful views of river, small cascade of waterfalls and lovely fall colors. Wear hiking shoes and take a bottle of water. Saw some with hiking poles. I chose this hike for our group of 20 with ages from 11-80 and different ability levels (we all got tested for covid before going and wore masks indoors and kept distance etc.). Everyone came back happy as you have the first two bridges close to the entrance with lovely views and rocks to sit around (where some of the group did yoga and just picnicked), some went half way up and turned around. There are no restrooms at the trailhead but Chimneys picnic area is close by. We all were able to find parking around 10am on Sunday between the two parking areas.

It doesn't take long to pull off on the parking area and get out to walk around, see the beautiful scenery, or even walk the steps to the top. (Which I had NO intention of doing!) I satisfied myself with the scenery!
