Description

Added by Sonja Saxe

A quick, high reward hike to a beautiful 130' waterfall!

The trailhead to Murhut Falls is located about 7.5 miles off US-101 S but the last couple of miles are on NF-2530 which can be potholed and rutted. I made it up the road in my 2WD sedan but it took quite some time to dodge all of the potholes.

This hike is nice and quick! It starts with a small ascent in the beginning before flattening out until the last twenty yards or so where it abruptly ascends again and delivers hikers to the thundering and beautiful Murhut Falls!
