This is the upper viewpoint for the Paulina Falls. You can reach it within less than five minutes from the parking lot. There are also picnic benches up here, if you want to spend more time next to the cool falls.

This large bowl shaped falls is particularly beautiful in the winter, when snow and ice covers the rocks. Recent warm temperatures reduced the ice levels, but it was still quite beautiful to see all covered in snow.
