    Short trail behind the vistor center that is very easy and mostly flat with beautiful scenery and a water fall. Highly recommend for family's with any age .

    Trail was short and easy. Be sure to stay on path. The path divides follow the signs. Gift shop inside must wear mask.

    Beautiful trail that's easy for hikers of any level. I went early May in the morning on a Sunday and it wasn't very busy at all. The waterfall isn't the largest but it was still pretty and I recommend going from the parking to the falls if you have eager children.
