We hiked the loop counterclockwise starting at the tv tower. Hit all the little waterfalls in the 1st two miles, left 5 hot and muggy miles for the end to finish the loop. The trail was well marked and in pretty good shape. Some trash and muddy parts. Be careful on wet rocks, it took 4 hours to evaluate gentlemen who fell and broke his leg on the trail. Next time, I would do this hike clockwise or start at the other parking lot so that the waterfalls were in the middle to end of this hike. This is a long hike but not difficult.
