The waterfall has varied levels of activity, depending on whether there has been any recent snow or rain, but is active off and on throughout the year. Sometimes that means a trickle, sometimes a little more.

The trail is open from sunup to sundown, and is good for many skill levels. You can even bring your four legged friends, as long as you keep them on a leash.
