Dark Hollow Falls

At 1.5 miles out and back, this hike is deceptively difficult. You would think that such a short distance would be an easy leg-stretcher, but beware. This one is very steep and rocky, leading down to a waterfall, and then back up to the trailhead. On the other hand, this is one of the most popular paths in this section of the park for a reason - the waterfall can be worth the walk.

Horsehead Mountain Overlook
