After parking in the large lot above the falls, we walked past the
gift shop and cafe and descended the stairs down to the lower parking lot.
Then we started the crowded trail toward the falls.
As we approached the falls, we could see and feel the mist flying toward
us. Thankfully, the mist was actually worse a bit further out, and improved
as we got closer to the
main viewpoint at the end. I don't know if that just had to do with the direction
of the wind or the twists and turns of the river, which actually falls in
a cascade, turning before falling again.

The whole scene feels like Niagara Falls, as there are large crowds and the falls
are impressively large. After walking out to the viewpoint and enjoying the views,
we returned to the top and turned right, where there's another short trail
to some views from above. Then we returned to the parking lot.
