This is an amazing, but I thought moderate-difficult hike. Its 12 miles round trip out and back to tunnel falls so it took me about 5 hours at a moderate pace. The trail is typically well kept as it is an extremely popular hike on nice days. However, going in December lead to very sparse crowds (enough to know I wasn't alone, but infrequent enough to see one party every mile or so). Make sure to take enough time to see all of the waterfalls and don't skip just because you want to make it to tunnel falls quicker. The high bridge is spectacular as are some of the unnamed falls along the way. This is one of the better hikes that I have done recently.
