This trail is better than I remembered, in fact I think I never was starting at the right spot.
Ignore all the old posts about some construction project, you can get right to the trailhead easily on the usual array of gravel roads that you can reach from the Squamish Valley road.
This trail starts off wit a low gradient so you can get a bit warmed up before the steeper climbs begin and it is pretty steep, putting it into the "workout" category along with Tunnel Bluffs, Lynn Peak, and BCMC (but I'm going to say not as bad).
Lush green forests are abound but inevitably will be overshadowed by the falls.. one of the best for this amount of effort. This thing is always pushing a ton of water and the trail hits it in such a way that you get a very rare vantage point for photos etc. in multiple spots.
This would be a great hot day hike due to good sun coverage and cooling mist of the falls. I would do it again as a shoulder season hike too.
