Crabtree Falls Loop Trail is labeled "strenuous" not only because of the rocky trail but because of the 580-foot elevation gain. The elevation gain seems to come all at once on the return hike back.
When I reached the steps, I could hear the rush of the plunging water from the 60-foot waterfall.
The hike to the falls may have been rocky, at least it was downhill. Finishing the loop starts out climbing rock stairs then a narrow footpath that has a serious incline for a couple thousand yards.
A rock wall was built (I'm guessing) to keep the trail from washing away. There is a severe drop-off over the wall.
There is nothing more peaceful than closing your eyes and listening to the babble of the creek.
