Waterfalls

Misty overlooks and roaring trail rewards.

Safety first

Waterfall Hikes

Waterfall hikes are great year-round, but trails can be slick—especially near spray zones and shaded sections. Bring traction when it’s cold and take your time on wet rocks and roots.

Photo tips

Try an early start for fewer crowds and softer light—plus more parking at popular trailheads.

Safety reminder

Stay behind barriers and avoid climbing on rocks near the falls—slips happen fast.

Trail conditions

If the route is muddy or icy, slow down and consider turning around—waterfall areas can be deceptively hazardous.
