The photograph is beautiful but doesn't do it justice. A magnificant waterfall that keeps going and going. We love to pick-up a sub or pack a lunch and picnic beside the falls. In the summer there are small pools of water you can cool off in. Drive right there and then cross the bridge to get nice and close on the big rocks. 30 minute drive from here.
