This lower tier of the vast limestone falls is stunning. The beautiful moss-covered rock gives the falls a bearded look, worthy of taking some fantastic photos. Although it may be tempting to scramble to the top of the falls, it is not open to the public to avoid the risk of severe fall injuries and to preserve the fragile habitat.
