This place was awesome! The trail was perfect not to steep or long and they were well maintained, so many beautiful things to look at and the whole time you hear the waterfalls in the background. The waterfalls were amazing, so load and powerful! I will definitely come back to camp.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve ever seen! The best part is that a short 0.3 mile hike takes you right to the falls, and you can admire them the entire way since they’re visible throughout. We reached at noon - while the view from the top was stunning, we couldn’t get good pictures at the bottom because the sunlight was directly behind the falls. For better shots, try visiting in the morning or late afternoon. The trail is friendly and can easily be done with elderly visitors or infants, which makes it even better.

Definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I look forward to camping here. The hike down the trail to the water fall is not that bad and coming up was either. I definitely recommend this to everyone. Everyone should visit this place atleast once in life. It is truly a beautiful place.
