Excellent short hike with gorgeous viewing points. Nothing can beat this landscape. Taking photos at sunrise on one of the numerous lookouts is a definite must. The walkway to the falls is very well maintained. There are numerous platforms from which to view the falls and the river. Definitely a family friendly trail.
