Was a great view and only about 40 minute walk to the top of falls. Bring water to drink and athletic shoes cause its slippery in some parts of the trail. Try to go before 10am on weekends cause it gets alot of people around 11am and noon. They have coffee stand at bottom of falls where you can get snacks and coffee stands. Was well worth the walk to the top

Good falls if you're going to pick one to see - I enjoyed all the angles and if you're up for an inclined walk I highly recommend going up to the bridge so you can get the full effect of the falls and being able to look down to the lower tiers. I was there during the cold season and if you are ok with colder weather I actually perfer that to all the crowds. Go. See. Enjoy.

Spectacular and a must do if in the area. Easy parking and very accessible. The view from the bottom or the upper bridge are best views even if you take the walk to the top. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend.
