Beautiful area! The trail is well maintained and there are park rangers walking around that can always help in case need some guidance. There are multiple parking lots in the area and plenty of trails.

We took a few small trails first and then headed down to the waterfall There were a lot of people but it didn't feel crowded. This is a wonderful way to spend the day in the summer!

The bottom shows you both sets of falls and was probably one of my favorite falls so far! It’s animal friendly and my dog did really well with it! I definitely recommend it if you are up for a little...
