April 23rd, 2022: Quality Time with My Parents
I’m actually typing this blog post over a year later (hehe), but from what I remember (and after rewatching the vlog), my parents and I had a great time hiking to Rose River Falls and Dark Hollow Falls! It was well-maintained, not too challenging (e.g. family friendly), and an overall beautiful hike. The waterfalls were flowing quite nicely. Even though Dark Hollow Falls seems to be the most popular waterfall out of the two and slightly taller, I personally liked Rose River Falls better. Maybe because it was less crowded.
Dark Hollow Falls definitely deserves the hype as it is a beautiful waterfall. But the experience was slightly ruined from the many tourists. Yes, I know, we were tourists as well. With that being said, get there early to beat the crowd! Next time I go, I will make sure I get there as the sun’s coming up or going down.
