A great spot for taking photos with the significant other. If you're active, make sure to combine this trip with a hike up The Chief (we spent about 5-10 minutes enjoying the falls).

This attraction is a quick stop off the road. Doesn't take long to get to the base. It's a really big waterfall. Bring a jacket, it gets cold!

The falls are beautiful and the trails are mostly easy to walk (I think some areas have stairs,etc.). It is a beautiful walk through the rainforest and the trees and foliage are lush. Lots of opportunities for photos. It's an outdoor activity that is good for people with all sorts of interests/abilities as you can make it as short or... More

The fall is an easy walk from the parking lot, though there can be a lot of visitors at the bottom of the fall. Hike up the side stairs a bit for a different view and less crowd.

The park and the pathway to the falls are well maintained. It is a fairly quick trip along the pathway along a stream through a cedar forest.

If you want a quick break from driving, these falls are worth the 5 minute walk. The pathway to the falls is paved and, as such, wheelchair & stroller accessible. Very nice!

Was there two times: early winter and late winter. On early winter it's pretty fog and the waterfall isn't that impressive, 'cause of the amount of water. On late winter wasn't that fog anymore and the frozen water around the river has already melted, what makes the falls bigger and beautiful. It's a beautiful view to stand at the point... More
