This spot is well worth a visit. It is in a relatively small area, so your hikes can be both short and awesome! Take a camera for the crazy formations and the BEAUTIFUL WATERFALL! But be careful; signs warn against jumping from ledge to ledge, as tempting as it may be. Go with a friend to be safe when exploring the crevices.
