Moderate hike to the main waterfalls with 5 water crossings... I'm wearing old shoes that I don't mind getting wet, and changing into dry shoes afterwards!!! May be best to wade through the crossings getting your feet wet. Trekking poles are very helpful. After the hike we will be going for lunch to Malibu Seafood.
