This waterfall is beautiful, the hike is down about 600 ft and one mile to the bottom. Wear pants if you want to get close and to the water, as the last few hundred feet has underbrush hitting your legs.

The hike is downhill the entire way to the falls so save some energy for the hike back. Recommend walking sticks but I was able to manage without them and carrying a 20 pound camera bag and tripod.

When get on turn off you have to drive down some roads.after you drive about 5,to 7 miles when you do find the road too turn off you need a 4x4 to get to the parking lot. The hike is kind of rough up and down hills. When you get to the falls it’s so worth it.❤️❤️❤️it your going to spend about 3hrs.
