OutdoorSelfie Spot

National park with hiking trails & bridges to waterfalls, ridges & blue ‘ink pot’ spring pools.

The well-maintained trail winds through lush evergreen forests, with suspended catwalks guiding hikers to the lower and upper falls.

Accessible year-round, the canyon transforms in the winter, offering a magical experience with snow-covered trails and frozen waterfalls.

Plan to spend 1.5-3 hours here.
