This is a heavily trafficked 6-mile hike down and back to a waterfall. Towards the end of the trail, the terrain changes to a densly covered path. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen because the first few miles are exposed to the sun. There are a couple of crossing points that lead to a view of the falls and an area to take a snack break. Come early because is a popular one for locals!
