I hiked through a few 6 inch snow drifts to see it at the heavy flow shown. It can also be a very nice hike in mid-May of a very wet spring - even though the falls will just be a trickle, the ridges can be covered with flowers, and some uncommon Lindley Blazing-star (Mentzelia lindleyi) bloom right next to the falls.

Just before the ridge curves to the northeast, the you can choose to take a dirt road along the ridgetop and head south once you reach the valley to the east of the ridge, or follow a dirt road traversing the south side of the ridge and then head north after crossing the stream.
