This hike, starting at the Oneonta Trailhead is a 3.2 mile roundtrip. You will gain approximately 600 feet in elevation as the trail often switches from moderate flat easy hiking to more difficult elevation gain and even a little bit of downhill. You will soon reach a junction point (#438) that leads to the Horsetail Falls trail where you can also view the Middle Oneonta Falls. Once you continue on from the junction you will start a series of switchbacks that will lead you upwards toward Upper Oneonta Falls. The final segment of the trail is a little sketchy as there have been multiple land slides. The last time I visited Triple Falls, the trail was actually under construction due to a landslide. The trail is typically very wide but the cliffs can still be dangerous so please proceed with caution!
