Trails and natural beauty! The falls are beautiful and there are lovely vistas on the circular route. Once you head into the trail of trees, you'll hear the soothing sound of the Falls before coming upon them. A great trip to combine with the Coombs Old Country Farm Market and Complex with goats on the roof.
