Allot at least 2 hours to hike and come back with daylight. Unfortunately I arrived late, but the lookout was crazy.

Very steep to go down but once you get to the cascades and water falls it's truly so beautiful. The climb back is kinda difficult.

This is a beautiful walk. The weather was quite foggy and overcast so the look out wasn't too spectacular. But the cool moist air was very refreshing on the way back up. The water was cold but refreshing, and it was definitely worth going down and then back up all those stairs.

It's a fantastic trek to the falls. Please bring swim wear as you will want to jump in the mini pool there. Please note there are no bathrooms. Please use the one near near the parking area before commencing the hike.
