Mary Jane Falls Trail is 1 1/2 miles one way. Mary Jane Falls Trail begins on an abandoned road. The main trail is built up with rows of large rocks know as "rip-rap" to help prevent trail erosion.
The trail travels for 1/4 mile through tall ponderosa pines, white fir, aspen, and mountain mahogany. The next 1/3 mile is a gradual ascent after which Mary Jane Falls Trail begins a steep climb up a series of switchbacks and rock steps to the base of the falls.
Two springs can be seen cascading down steep terraced cliff walls. The falls flow year round, but they are most spectacular in the early spring when they are flowing at their peak. Early in the season water may be seen flowing over Big Falls in the distance from the Mary Jane Falls Trail.
