There’s no signal once you get to Sahalie, but it’s so worth it! There’s multiple free parking spots and 2 bathrooms at the start. The Sahalie water is .25 of a mile maybe less. The first waterfall is disability assessable with a well kept ramp. The rest of the path is maybe a mile or so and the water is beautiful and blue. There are the Koosah falls on the trail as well with multiple view points. There’s a mini waterfall between Koosah and Sahalie falls. Lots of areas to go down to the water as well and super kid friendly. I went at about 9 am on November 25th and there was no one there till I finished the hike. 10/10 :)
Trail can get pretty muddy even when there’s a light drizzle but the view of the waterfall is barely a stroll from the parking area! So if you don’t have time for a full hike, no worries. Although I do recommend making the small trek down!
Beautiful hike. Beginner and intermediate trails between falls with excellent photo opportunities!
