Denny Falls

This mostly moderate to occasionally strenuous 1.0 mile “out-and-back” trail takes you to Denny Falls, actually a double-drop cascade that, on sunny afternoons, frequently displays its spray as a rainbow. This white-blaze trail is beautiful and varied, with at least one excellent view into the heart of Denny Cove. About 300 feet from the trail’s start you’ll encounter a steep but not lengthy 18-degree descent. At mile 0.49, keep right (the spur trail to the climbers’ “Buffet Wall” bears left here). At mile 0.6, navigate about 60 feet of small boulders and scree. At mile 0.7, navigate about 300 feet of boulder field with large and occasionally loose or unsteady rocks. At mile 0.8, continue your rocky scramble up a rough stone staircase. At mile 0.9, more stone steps provide the final ascent to the base of the falls. During times of high rainfall, please use caution: there may be water cascading down these steps, making them quite slick!
