  • Easy hike to view Cataract Falls. My 8 yr old hiked this with no complaints. Took about 30 minutes round trip. The trail is clearly marked and well maintained. No good for strollers as there are stairs to go up and down.
  • This place was so pretty! I had never seen mountains or waterfalls, but this was lovely. It was raining a good bit when we went but it didn't slow us down any lol. There's a cute lil museum at the front, it's located in the national park. Cataract falls is off of the main walking trail. Absolutely gorgeous scenery, everybody should come visit!
