Confirmed from Adams Canyon Middle Falls' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Adams Canyon Middle Falls
“The trail was a bit hard to follow, but the area was beautiful and the waterfalls were amazing.”
Beautiful trail. Be sure to wear spikes on your shoes and bring a hiking pole if you have one. The trail is slippery in the snow.
It was a very fun hike and very pretty. The trail was a bit hard to follow, but the area was beautiful and the waterfalls were amazing. I definitely want to go again.
It was a fun hike. We took time to get up on top of the waterfall because of the little kids.
Honestly one of the most gorgeous hikes but its definitely not the easiest one. It takes a lot of motivation to make it to the falls. But soooo worth it.
