in the last weekHiked on Feb 14, 2026. Gorgeous views, very steep hike. There were 3 places I'm glad I had crampons, but hiked with others who didn't wear any crampons. Highly recommend for anyone able to handle a 45 min stair-step like hike. Both the lower waterfall and upper waterfall are amazing.
