  • Fabulous waterfall hike

    The price is a little high, $10 per person, but the trail is in very good condition and the hike isn't too strenuous if you are in reasonably good shape. If you are not, stay at the top and enjoy the view from there. If you do go to the bottom, you can really enjoy a fabulous waterfall and have fun swimming in the pool at its base, just be careful. There are other pools nearby for less able swimmers. You don't need a guide for this one.
