LessRatings & Reviews
This is a very well-maintained Park with nice trails. There is a nice climb to see the falls, but very worthwhile. You can backtrack and go back the same way you came up, or take an easier path back.
The park is very organized. We arrived before 1030am, as we left a park ranger was controlling and directing traffic. It really made the parking situation pleasant and manageable, especially on a bus.
The cops in this park are not friendly. They could be a real taker away of joy as we witnessed them nearly made a tourist from Ireland cry as there was something wrong with her car. Not nice cops.
