This hike is the longest in the Latourell Falls area.  One can follow the trail either clockwise or counterclockwise.  However you choose to hike this trail, use extreme caution as there are very steep cliffs and drop-offs along the area near the lower falls.  The trail meanders through forested areas to a smaller less imposing falls before returning to the parking area.  The hike takes you through a picnic area north of the Old Columbia River Highway.
