Travel Information

Two options to get there. Follow the 862 to visit the western side or take the 864 to watch the blustering waters from the eastern side.

It is about 800m from the parking side. During my stay (end of November) it was snowy and you need longer for the walk down to the waterfall. Fortunately, the sunrises are also longer during this time of the year ;-). Make sure you have good shoes, as it can get very slippery.
