Trail description is accurate...
But there are lots of side trails that can be confusing. This is definitely a hike worth having Avenza maps. Even with Avenza, I ended up on one of the parallel woods roads. . . . I recommend adding of the loop around Crater Lake - very pretty. But there's one small cliff/rock scramble that raises the difficulty level.

Good hike, but directions and trail are confusing
I just did this hike today and wound up lost on my way to Indian Rocks. A quick not to future hikers: When it says "turn right onto the main path" make sure youre going AWAY from hemlock pond, in a southeast-ish direction. If you hit a T intersection where the wand directs the trail to the right, YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY. The trail is very defined but it wouldn't hurt to add more blazes and maybe get some different colored trails in the park. I might send an email to the NPS about this.
