I first went to Cataract Falls in September 2019 and, while it was nice, it was a bit melancholy feeling and I can't point out exactly why. Probably because I was alone and nobody else was there...

So happy I stumbled across this place. I've lived near by for years. It's so beautiful! I wish I had more time to explore more. There's different pathways to get to see the waterfalls. I didn't like the pathway I chose. The pathway is narrow in some areas, confusing at times, and too steep to climb back up in certain spots. I did, but it was a struggle for me. I felt like I was going to fall backwards trying to climb back up. I'm overweight so maybe that's why. Idk.
