  • This was AMAZING! There is a bit of a hike to see this attraction but it’s worth it. It’s about a quarter mile or less. The path is layered with plastic grating to secure your footing. This attraction is fully green with opportunity to take photos everywhere. Along the way you’ll find yourself taking photos because you’ll think you got to the attraction but there’s even more to see and better. When you get to the end, there is a metal deck that hangs over a cliff. You can get a great photo of the waterfalls and of the river. The rocks are covered with green moss. There is a second level on the metal deck for another, even maybe better photo taking opportunity. Ask someone to take your photo and remember this place forever. We will. It was just beautiful!!
  • Beautiful spot. Please NOTE: carry your ice spike or ice gears. Else you won’t be allowed to hike on top hill. And they do not sell or rent snow crampons! Weird! But that’s what it is! But you will be allowed to walk around in front. And view is equally good. Highly recommend this place for photos!!
