This fantastic waterfall is just off the Highland Scenic Highway, and is easy to get to aside from a bunch of steps that fall down a wooden step system! Even on the driest of days (such as the day I went), the water still flows beautifully down this one-of-a kind waterfall! It is a sight to behold!
