We hiked Calypso Cascades Trail August 2023.
It's a easy hike, 3.6 miles round trip, approximately 600 ft. elevation gain.
Definitely a family friendly hike.
Trailhead: Water Basin Trailhead
What is the hike like?
This is a great hike for small kids. You are hiking along the river the entire time, which has several little waterfalls
as you move up the trail. Several spots to pull over and enjoy the cascades. The elevation gain is not bad.
I thought this was going to be a less frequented hike, but even though we left early in the morning for the hike, the parking lot was promptly filling in.
The other cool thing, we got to see the Park Rangers take llamas in for maintenance and gear.
Tips for Hiking in August:
- Start very early (6 am or earlier) to beat the crowds
- Pack snacks, waters, and extra gear
