Beautiful, and can be seen from both close and from a distance.
[Bill Brown, 05/10/2023]Definitely stop. Came here, parked our 22 trailer in RV parking spaces for 4 or 5. Hillside shaded park and picnic- gift stand/concession. Many photo op overlooks.
[Mel, 07/17/2021]
Drought has the falls looking a bit dry these days.
[A.S., 07/01/2021]
The water has been mostly diverted for irrigation so, at least when we were there, January, there was no water flowing over the rocks.
[Ted, 01/07/2021]The car fee as of today is $5 and is worth the fee. We went today at low water flow level and it was beautiful. Love to see it again at high!
