Burnett Falls Hike
The trek to Burnett Falls follows a 0.5 km out-and-back hiking route that climbs uphill to a viewpoint overlooking the waterfall. Although it is very short, the route works up an elevation gain of 30 m through the forest, eventually providing views across the canyon and the cascading water of the falls. Make sure to time this hike for the winter or spring when the water levels are generally higher and the powerful falls will create more of a spectacle.
