The scenery was amazing, and we got to swim around the waterfall, which was so fun. I highly recommend it, or anyone who can hike 1/2 mile on a grassy path.

My wife and her sister swam at the falls. My son, his wife, and my brother in law enjoyed the trails. My mobility issues kept me at the lodge where I spent the day painting watercolors.
