There's a small lay-by on the right as soon as you turn onto the parking drive. There you'll grab a small orange envelope, fill out some basic vehicle information, tear off the stub to display from vehicle mirror, stuff $3.00 into the envelope and place into dropbox. Proceed to a split level parking area. This is an all blacktop parking. There's a restroom, trashcans and a info board at this spot. From there you'll begin your scenic hike. There's a lower waterfall, 500ft of blacktop to a landing. Then 1.7 mile to the top landing over a dirt and rock path to the top of the falls.

Beautiful falls (since there are multiple big and small ones on the way to the top). Trail starts at the parking lot that can accommodate around 30 vehicles, has a restroom (no water, so bring hand sanitizer), trash bins and picnic tables. Trail leads to first fall within 500 ft then it takes you uphill with lots of stairs and rock steps to quickly gain elevation. On the way you get treated with many small and big waterfalls. I would say it's an easy to moderate climb with nice waterfalls.

Great waterfalls. Water was lower than normal, so we didn't get wet. Good 3.5 mile RT hike with some fantastic views

Great place to park and see the water falls. $3 for parking. Bring cash or check to pay at the entrance. Bathroom available at upper lot. Many amazing views on 1.7 mile trail. If you want to climb higher, the trail continues to an upper parking lot. Bring water on hot days.

It is but when we were there it was packed. Be prepared to have other plans to have lunch. Like a blanket or such.
