Insider tips
- ★Start early to maximise daylight; sunrise departure gives you more time to linger at each waterfall without rushing.
- ★Bring double the water you think you'll need—mountain air is deceptive and the terrain is exposed in places.
- ★Ask your guide about wildflower seasons (spring/early summer) if you're visiting outside peak season for a less crowded experience.
- ★Wear sturdy hiking boots with good grip; some sections involve rocky creek crossings and steep descents.
