The trail to Mill Creek Falls begins right off to the side of the new Kohm Yah-mah-née Visitor Center in the Southwest parking area. The trail is somewhat easy-moderate, depending how fit you are of course. It has a round trip distance of 4.6 miles with various areas of inclining slopes. The path was not smooth and in many spots there was snow blocking the way(but this was a few weeks ago and it may have melted by now). Hiking poles were very useful here. This trail isn’t for those looking for an easy stroll. Keep a close eye on the trail too because it wasn’t clearly marked and there are areas were you can get off the main path. With that being said, the hike and the actual falls were beautiful. Along the way there were open areas that offered lovely views of various mountain peaks, as well as areas with towering trees that loomed overhead and offered much leafy shade. There was one part of the trail that brought us to a hillside covered with bushes of yellow wildflowers, which was absolutely beautiful. The Mill Creek Falls itself was stunning. You can walk across a bridge that runs above its cascading waters and also across a second little bridge further up from the first. The bridge gives you a spectacular view of the canyon between the two hills. Be careful though because the wooden bridges do not have railings. It’s hard to put into words the beauty and majesty of a natural waterfall. You just have to see it for yourself.
