Description
Although most people experience Narada Falls by hopping out of their cars at the parking area and walking a dozen feet to the main overlook, there is a longer trail here that is worth exploring. Start at either end and follow the Paradise River Valley. This wooded corridor can be surprisingly pleasant and peaceful. The two Narada Falls overlooks are understandably crowded, but the rest of the trail receives less traffic and more likely to be quiet.
