Directions; Take State Highway 123 into Ohanapecosh Campground which is just south of Stevens Canyon Rd.

Trail stats: If you go Ohanapecosh Campground there is a 3 mile loop to the Falls and is only 300 foot gain. However instead of doing the loop you can continue on Eastside Trail (to right) and go 1.2 miles to Grove of the Patriarchs. By doing this total is 5.4 miles round trip Directions and trail stats are our best estimate however please have a good local map and or a GPS unit.
