    The upper waterfalls at Johnston Canyon can be reached after a 3.1-mile hike with well-developed trails of moderate grade. From two platforms, photography is possible.

      ... and are unfortunately very well attended! So bring time and if you want to be alone in nature without music and screaming, you should go on to Inkpots - another 3 km ☀️🥾

        The upper waterfall has a drop of 30 m, which is impressive. We recommend going further to the Ink Pots.
