-best to visit on a cloudy day for pictures, falls glare out in the sun
-minimal stepping throughout, some areas have a little bit, and the falls requires a lot of stepping
-in the beginning the trail is flat with minimal to no incline, the majority of the hike has some rocks and a constant 40-45 degree in cline with no breaks, last segment has minimal incline, then there is a steep hill to the base of the falls and a small hill to the midsection of the falls (requires stepping up rocks)
-ok in low water (good for slow shutter photos)
-cross several small streams, trail can get muddy in some areas
-view of falls is semi-obstructed by trees
