Hike Description:
From the parking area, get on the Rainforest Interpretive Trail (#855) and pass a very large Douglas fir. In less than 0.1 miles, come to a split and turn left on Quinault Loop Trail (#854) to pass under the road. The upper section of the waterfall is visible from the trail.
A view of both sections can be seen from the bridge over the creek or scramble down to creek level.
Here's a video of the falls.
