The lower Johnston Falls are very easy to reach, but a completely wet experience. Plan this trip as a "day off" or an easy start before moving on to more challenging destinations, as it really doesn't take much to get there and enjoy some beautiful views.

Hiking

A great hike to the lower and upper waterfalls. However, something very crowded. I can recommend sturdy shoes. Also suitable for inexperienced hikers. However, it is already a bit uphill.

Hiking

Paved, stroller-friendly trail up to Lower Falls, then still an easy trail. Mostly crowded, but the waterfalls make the "tour" a highlight
