Buttermilk Falls

Wow, wow, wow! If you can take the short but steep Gorge Trail. There are many waterfalls on this trail. $9.00 parking fee. They have restrooms, benches, tables, water fountain, and nice views of the big fall near the parking lot. One of the best places on Earth!

Really nice hike. If you take the stairs up the right side of the falls it is quite steep to get up on top of the main falls. Not really any place to stop and rest on the way up. About halfway up there is a nice overlook of the falls. There is an area here where you can sit for a rest. Once you are at the top there are a number of Cascades and falls with pools. Very beautiful. Bring your camera. If you do the full gorge hike there is a bridge that you can cross at the top and then take the rim trail back down to the parking lot.

Unfortunately with the drought, the falls have been pretty much dried up, but the hiking is always nice, some paths can be strenuous.

What a fun place.
