Know Before You Go:

  • This spectacular gem of a waterfall can be viewed with very little effort.

  • Be sure to walk to the upper viewing platform as well as the lower for two amazing perspectives.

  • Visit later in the day to avoid other visitors and for the best light.

  • One of the more unique falls in the Gorge corridor, a definite favorite.

  • Park in the large lot on the right hand side of the road as you drive in, then look for the trail opening on the opposite side of the road, you’ll have to walk a few feet back the way you drove in.
