Wanted a low elevation trail without snow and decided Twin Falls would fit the bill. However, upon reaching the trailhead, noticed the gate was down on the ground and there was a sign saying ""Emergancy trail closure due to washout."" But I saw 6 cars inthe parking lot and people coming both directions so decided to give it a try realizing it would be at my own risk. I reached the washout along the river, near the woods where you start to gain a little elevation. Although the actual trail was only about a foot wide for 65', it was no worse than walking on a gravel beach. Just prior to reaching the steps to the lower falls, there is one large tree that blew down but, luckily, it landed parallel to the trail. Then there is another warning sign of the trail closure where two trees cover the trail. It just required some crouching down to get under the trees and on to the falls which were beautiful as always this time of year.
