Very beautiful ace. Waterfall was awesome and water was cold. Went on the 3.5 mile hike to Meig. OMG. Only made a little over 2 miles there before it started raining. Your first 1.5 miles is straight up. Like 1300 ft gain.

Sinks is truly one natural beauty without any intervention of humans. It's a pretty small waterfall albeit with very rapid streams. If caught in those water currents, chances of survival are pretty slim. There are several trails that starts from here. They range between 3 - 6 miles. However don't go alone because you may find wild animals lurking inside of thick forest covers.

Very nice drive to view. Pull off was easy to find and the view was amazing. If you have the time to drive by it, do it. It’s worth the drive.

Beautiful place to photograph, but please be careful and stay in designated areas. Folks have been seriously injured and even killed due to taking chances and venturing into dangerous areas. Very safe if you follow guidelines.

Are masks currently required on the hiking trails?

I would hope people don't wear masks outside.. I mean, wouldn't surprise me. People are nuts. They wear them in their car alone..
