Hike up a river canyon with tall mountain peaks to three big tumbling falls and a new suspension bridge, the pride of the local community.

This is a good choice for spring because it’s lower elevation and you can drive directly to the trail head. We also don't mind it in cloudy weather because its charms don’t rely on panorama views.

Trail info

This is a one way trail up the valley, returning the way you came. It's a bit steep in parts, requiring some fitness, but not dangerous.

Hike: Moderate • 3 h • 8 k there & back • 520m up & down

It’s popular for locals, so it might be quite busy on sunny Sundays. So make sure to go early (arrive by 9) and better on Saturday.
