Nice fall with good size parking lot. Hiked up to the upper fall in about 20 minutes after sun went down. It was still nice enough to view with little light. The trail is a little rocky so may not be doable for some people.

Waterfalls are just so magnificent and I’m pleased I get to experience ones like this! Once again the park was clean. It’s nice when nature stays like nature.

One of the prettiest falls along old Highway 30 in the gorge. It is a short easy walk down to the base of the falls where there are many good photo vantage points. There is also a good view of one of the original road bridges on the scenic byway.

The lower falls is very easy to see.
You can go to the bottom much easier than the upper falls.  Although the upper falls is not that taxing. There are some spots that may cause someone with height issues to question going.
