    This pretty, 50-foot waterfall is just a 5-minute walk or so from the Eagle Lake Trailhead — but as you might imagine, that gets pretty busy. If that trailhead is full, you can often find parking at the Vikingsholm Trailhead a little farther up the road.

      During our hike in mid October, we couldn’t see the waterfall as it was almost dried up. Considering the height of the bridge it must look stunning after the raining season.
