As I mentioned in my review, animals ARE NOT permitted. This prohibition is also posted on signage at the park entrance, and at the trail head.

It gets really hot here. Depending on your personal level of hiking ability, the current temperature levels and other factors, yes it could be dangerous. We always head out early, also this trail is well traveled so you won’t find yourself alone for long. But yes, always make sure you have the 10 essentials and plenty of water, and also maybe an umbrella as there is a 1/2 mile stretch without shade when heading back to parking.

I am also 60 and had no trouble, but I walk often. Not much elevation gain. I don't think you can take a dog. Check their website.

Fairly moderate, not recommended if you have hip,knee,heart issues. There's two crossovers bridges with water running over them.

I got service heading down from the waterfall. Have Sprint. Was surprised when my phone rang!

I found this question strange because when I was at Tahquitz Canyon in early February, the teen-aged girl at the front desk was extremely nice. Rather than just taking our money--my companion had proffered his credit card--she first helpfully pointed out that there was about a mile of rock scrambling involved and that some of the rocks were eighteen inches high. I had never hiked with the person I was with before, and I would have had no trouble with the rock scrambling, but he had strong doubts he could handle it. The cashier then very politely handed us a brochure for Indian Canyon, Tahquitz's sister canyon about three miles down the road, and suggested we go there. She also drew us a map. We used the restroom at Tahquitz Canyon before we left, and the cashier had no problem with that, which she could have, if she had been a 'terrible person'. When we left and got to the parking lot, we realized that we had left the map and, would you believe, the 'terrible person' at the front desk, was coming down the path to give it to us. I am not sure at all why TripAdvisor approved this racist sentence in the review--"When I paid my admission with 50.00 bill the senior ranger and rangers who just sit on their bottomswhile getting paid too much money are so rude and gross saying I have 20.00 and lying so much!!" But, it is worthwhile for anyone answering your question to see it.

I did not see anyone with alcohol.

The pòol at the waterfall is big enough to wade in and to stand or sit below the fall but not big nor deep enough to swim as such.
