Very close to Grand Lake and at the very beginning of the East Inlet trail that leads to Spirit Lake, you find this superb waterfall full of strength.

The short climb is worth it. Unfortunately, at the time of our visit, there were a lot of people out and about.

A short walk from the large parking lot to Adam Falls. They are very easy to reach, and the path is well-maintained, although there are a few steps and rocks to climb. A circular trail has been created near the falls, which runs along the river.
