Hike Day At Petit Jean's Cedar Falls Trail

Let's meetup up at the Mather Lodge Restuarant, which is where the hiking trail begins. The Cedar Falls Trail at Petit Jean State Park has a moderate to strenuous level of difficulty, primarily due to the steep initial and final ascents and descents, though the trail itself is otherwise peaceful and well-maintained. The beginning and end is the "difficult" part (you go down and come up the same way), but the rest is a pretty easy hike. I personally don't find it very difficult. You just take breaks when needed, we aren't in any hurry.

The trail is pretty scenic, and at the end you get rewarded with a 96 foot water fall. Then you loop back to Mather Lodge where we can have lunch and a cold drink.

You'll want to wear appropriate shoes for the hike and bring water. The hike takes about an hour, not counting the time you take to admire the water fall.
