This was probably the most popular hike we went on. It was about 2 miles round trip with about 100 feet of elevation gain, but it felt pretty uphill. The hike was a little slippery, so bring shoes with lots of traction.

The waterfall is surrounded by beautiful basalt columns. We recommend going for sunset if you can.

NOTE: You will need to pay for parking here. There are machines, but you can also download an app and pay online as well!
