Too many tiny easy ones to count. There is one right before you come to the beginning of the cascades which was easy for Prema, challenging for me (short legs!). But on the way back it was easier for some reason. |

Pleasant hike to the cascades. Good time to do this, not only due to water volume but you get obscured views of surrounding mountains due to ne leaves on the trees yet. This water fall keeps going and going; first section looks like steps, upper sections are different. When you get toward the top, keep a watch for the yellow arrow pointing toward a space between two cascades. Good place to take a break and enjoy the scenery. You can see a rainbow formed by the mist. This place is seriously underrated, I seldom see reports for it or hear people talk about it. |
