This is the part where the confusion happened. Whilst following what we assumed was the trail going back (aka the three hour trail to the falls that we’d opted not to take) we came across a rest stop where we were told that we were a five hour hike away from our starting point. At this point the sky was starting to get darker, we still had our gear at the ranger station and there was still a bus we needed to take to catch up with some other friends to determine our campsite. The conclusion was we called a cab to come get us and ate ice cream while we waited.
