Falls of Hills Creek, Hillsboro

There are three falls on the trail. They appear from smallest to largest. The first is very easy to get to and a short hike or walk is more accurate. The only down side to that you can really only see it from the top and it’s usually pretty blocked by trees and overgrown. The second is a slightly more challenging of a hike with a good bit of stairs. The trail is beautiful and shaded so not bad when it’s a hotter day. Very beautiful falls and multiple angles to view it. The final fall is worth the extra effort. A lot of stairs and can be very slick in spots so wear the right shoes. If you have bad knees might not be worth it as the trip back is mostly inclined and those stairs can be brutal. Overall I recommend this adventure for anyone even with small kids if they can handle stairs and walk. I don’t remember the exact length but takes at least an hour and a half if your stopping and enjoying the views. Would recommend bringing water but you can leave snacks in the car unless your planning on having a meal with a view. No tables to eat at but plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view.

Allow yourself about an hour to get to the lower falls and back. Maybe a little longer with kids. Beautiful sights and a nice trail to walk on. If you want to see the bigger falls you have to be ready to get there by way of many many sets of steps. Careful with small children!
