​Quick Summary: Fantastic ~0.5-mile hike from the shuttle boat dock up to a stunning waterfall. Easy-to-follow gradual climb, though mostly exposed to full sun—pack plenty of water! ​Pros: ​Epic waterfall views with a nice, cool breeze coming off the water. ​Shaded viewing spots available at certain times of day. ​Cons / Warnings: ​Trail section getting there has no cover, so it gets hot in direct sun. ​Quick Tip: Take the shuttle boat to shorten the walk and cool off by the spray at the top!
