Description
A fairly easy and short hike to a beautiful waterfall. The terrain is mostly rocks and tree roots but not difficult. If you want to be adventurous, you can climb a barely-there trail up the righthand side of the waterfall and cut over to the river. From there, you can boulder in the river or stay on the narrow trail.
