According to Mikala: Frazier Falls is a very easy and short hike to a very pretty waterfall. At the time of year we went, the water was a little low, but the view was still terrific.
This trail is paved the whole way. It winds through the trees, crosses a bridge over the stream, and ends at a lookout of the falls. You can also see a great view of the mountains surrounding the area.
On our way to and from the falls, we saw a snake sunning himself on the rocks in the stream below the bridge. A nice side show for our hike.
