The falls can dramatically change
appearance depending on rain and the river's flow.
The best time to view this spectacular site is early
morning as the sun shines on the falls. The brave
and sure-footed can can take a slippery trail down
to the bottom of the falls and take a dip in the cool,
mountain water.

In ancient times, warriors would
leap from the top of the falls to prove their bravery.
This is strongly discouraged, as is the hike to the
top of the falls, as any leap or fall could be fatal.
