Wow, what a spectacular hike! Climbing the plateau is incredible, the panoramic view is divine... The stream water is nice and cold. Whether you're with a group of friends or alone, you'll have a great time. Just call in advance to get access to the property.

If you go and take the normal route, which is just following the trail, you won't see the waterfall. You'll reach the river and the point where the water starts to flow down, but you won't see anything. The only reason to climb up is for the views. If you want to see the waterfall, you have to take a route that branches off the path (which I haven't seen) and apparently it's quite difficult. When you get to the top, they ask you to pay $4 per person to enter the private property (5 minutes on private property), and they look like monkeys. Be careful on the climb; it's exhausting, so if you do it, take it easy because it's all uphill.
