Hike Summary: Wow is all I can say. If you do the entire hike it is about 10 miles long, but no worries, you don't have to. There are trail heads that start at the top and bottom of the park. It is best to take 2 cars if you are planning to do the entire hike and I am recommending that you do. But if you not no worries there are loops and in and out trails. There are 10 waterfalls that all very in size to huge to small little ones. You can walk behind some of the waterfalls as well. Go online and look at pictures of this because it will really push you to go. It is busy so be prepared to run into alot of people but it is still totally worth it. Wear good shoes and bring water and a hoodie because you have the chance to get a little wet when walking behind the falls. If I could give 10 stars I would!
