Parking Lot / Trailhead / Pavilion
There are plenty of parking spots. The parking lot itself holds a few dozen cars. There is a pavilion available as well as picnic tables and a bathroom.
Overview/Handicap Accessible
The overview is arguably the best view available. It is accessible by wheelchair and is a short walk from the parking lot.
Trail down to the Bottom
The trail down to the bottom is moderate. It is slick in some spots and steep in others. The trail is well maintained, but you will be walking down less than ideal slopes and will need to be careful with your footing. The hike back up is technically easier, but more difficult cardiovascularly!
Bottom of the Falls
The waterfall is over 200′ drop and is absolutely beautiful. There is plenty to see at the bottom. When you are done, hike back up the way you came down.
