Very nice over night through hike, walked north to south. Rough in spots but very doable with boy scouts. Nice views and plenty of water in the winter, even some that falls from the sky. Not at all well marked. Lost the trail several times but follow the ridge and you'll come to the High falls. Terrific side trip to an overlook at about 3 miles, maybe 1/4 mile extra. It's a do-over!
