We enjoyed hiking here while others shopped on Black Friday. There are three sets of waterfalls. All are absolutely beautiful. The pathway down to the Big Falls is slippery, so hiking shoes are a must! More

Hike a 3/4 mile trail (one way) to visit three beautiful falls. The last fall is breath taking. If you have the energy, hike to the bottom of the last one and enjoy the mist. More
