This trail follows a raging stream for 1.8 miles up to the Calypso Cascades waterfall. It is a fairly easy hike gaining 700 ft in elevation. After just 0.3 miles you will meet up with Copeland Falls. Watch the water for long enough and you might see the water ouzel or the American dipper bird. Along the way you'll be shaded by lots of pine and aspen. This is a nice hike with the relaxing sound of rushing water every step of the way.
