Itinerary description

Fantastic Family Outing but it is a very long day from GP - 10 to 12 hours with some exploring. 10 minute hike from Falls Day Use parking area to see Falls from viewing platform. The hike down to base of falls is very challenging. Be prepared to scale steep and slippery slope using rope as aid - plan an hour to return to viewing platform. Well worth the hike if up for the challenge.
