Super clean bathrooms! Come early to get a parking. We got there about 845am. It is July so the earlier the better. Most trails are well shaded. 6 dollar parking-easier to have exact change. Grab a map or ask for one or save it to your phone ahead of visiting. For July I didn't need to pay for parking in advance and reserve my visit but you should call to be sure. Amazing views! Be aware of the rain season...because we had good rainfall there was plenty of water for most waterfalls to flow in July yet no too much water that trails were blocked!
Beautiful park with great hiking trails. I highly recommend it!
I am not giving 5 stars because:
1. There were no maps in the map box, and no trail brochures, which must exist, because they were referenced on signposts on the waterfalls loop trail.
2. Several trail branches not labeled. This wouldn't have been a problem if I'd had a map.
I absolutely love this park. If I could come here everyday I would. The trail follows the stream with several small waterfalls that lead to a larger waterfall, all surrounded by beautiful trees. It's a great place to go if it's really hot because all of the shade and the cool water provides a break from the heat. I haven't been camping here yet, that's the next thing I want to do.
The best time to visit is right after the rainy season, because all water falls may have plenty of water and look better. Otherwise only the upper fall has more water. Nice trails, most of them shady. Many good spot picnic area. You need to make parking reservation on line, $6 per car.
