Description
Beginning at the Basin Pond parking area, follow the trail along the south side of the pond for 0.3 miles to an old logging road. Continue on the Basin Trail toward Rim Junction. At 1.0 mile a side trail leads left to Hermit Falls, a picturesque cascade. This side of the loop rejoins the Basin Trail at 1.2 miles. The trail crosses a wide brook and climbs steeply to the top of the cliff overlooking the Basin. At Rim Junction, follow the Basin Rim Trail 0.1 miles north to a short path out to the great views south and east.
