This is a absolute must do stop on the river. The hike to the top of the falls is a great and fun hike. It is a bit challenging, and it has some tricky spots. If you a seriously afraid of heights, may not be for you. There are plenty of handholds and it is just a 15-ish foot short section that you really need to be focused on 😉
