I loved the place. Spent around 3+ hours here. Started with wolf rock trial. Then went to falls trial. It was a great experience.

There is an entry fee of $5 per person at the falls area. They take cards or cash. Also, there are 2 separate trials at the falls area, one is easier 1/2 mile trial, and other is a much harder 1 mile trial. Both reach the area of water falls. The stones are bit slippery so be very careful when climbing. People do climb all the way to the top but as I said, be very careful.
