I went looking for this waterfall today and it is absolutely rip-roaring right now. From the pulloff, a narrow herd path leads along a very steep sidehill down to the base of the main falls. Keep and eye on kids and pets here, a slip wouldn't be fun. Another eroded herd path leads straight down the very steep slope from the pulloff to a lower cascade. I opted to skip that one this time due to the wet, muddy, slippery conditions.
A very impressive waterfall. I needed to be there a bit later in the evening for just the right photograph, so I will be back when the conditions dry out a bit.
