Ooh they’re beautiful. It looks like it was created in a volcanic tube.

Yes, it’s a nice little loop hike, though on this day it was an out and back walk due to maintenance work on the trail.

I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I saw Terri’s first response. It looks a long drop, Graham. Always love waterfalls xx

The drop is under 500 feet, but looks impressive. There are others on the island over 1,000 feet, but not nearly so accessible.

It’s such a great view and so easily accessible. On this visit, it was an out and back trail as they were doing some maintenance work.
