Junction Falls
Details
Junction Falls is a relatively easy walk which starts with a creek crossing. There are several waterfalls and viewpoints along the way. There are a number of spots with little pools deep enough to safely dip in if you can stand the cold. The trail is also a multi-use area shared with horses, meaning more roots and a sine wave shaped trail for a section. I expect the trail to be busy on the way out.
