One of my most favorite places to visit. Its 24 minutes to drive, but upon arriving, and walking over the streams, down to the pond and cascading waterfalls, makes it all worth it. This place is literally breathtaking. Ideal for individuals who are experianced hikers, or are capable of walking over streams, since there is climbing involved over loose or slippery rocks.
