     -trail is very easy but long

     -entire trail is shaded

     -falls is in sun

     -in low water can walk through the falls, but in high water cannot, has a very strong current and people have died here.

     -some of the views are better from the other side of the river, but have to walk through the river in order to get there. There is no other way/access

     -has multi tiers, water falls over and through slabs of rocks, has created slides, no real “falls” just cascaded and slides

     -“good” views can be hard to get because of the way it flows in between the rocks

     -no debris in falls
