    The base of the waterfall can be reached via a 1.4 mile (2.25 kilometer) long circular hiking trail. From an observation platform you have a beautiful view of the water cascading down more than 100 meters. This also offers a popular photo opportunity.

      Nice area in general. Waterfall is awesome in spring.
