In winter, snow blankets the park, woodlands turn white, and waterfalls freeze over.

Yes you read that right, frozen waterfalls! There are several cool (yes pun intended) waterfalls on this hike. The tallest one is over 100 feet tall, and if conditions are good ice climbers may be climbing it. Although we will not be. Ice climbing requires training, the proper gear, and special permits.

Distance will be somewhere between 4 and 5 miles with decent elevation changes. The trail will likely be packed snow or ice in the woods with plenty of stairs.
