The falls were incredibly powerful and rushing in early June, and the cold mist was a relief as the day was hot.

Just a little further up from the lake trail for a great view of a nice waterfall. There some seating areas to sit and enjoy the beauty!

The hike to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point is a must if you're in the area. My wife and I took the ferry over. (Short on time). Little busy in the afternoon on a Saturday, but not horrible. Definitely go again.

This is an amazing waterfall to see if you are ever in the area. You can take the short, easy route by shuttle boat across the lake and then a short, easy hike from the boat up to Hidden Falls. Or, if you're up for a hike, take the trail that starts in the parking area and head around this pristine lake to the falls. It is a very dramatic falls as it comes over the top of the ridge, cascading down the face of the mountain. As always, leave no trace, leave it better than you found it,and enjoy 😉.
