8.6/10 Excellent! (230 reviews)

We wanted to love this. We stayed in the bunkhouse- that was what was available. It was NOISY. Think nyc apartment. The bathroom would use some TLC. Checking in was not friendly or seamless. Seemed like there was not a clear place to go and that we were in the way.

Dry Falls

4.8/5 (129 reviews)

Walk behind the 75-foot waterfall at Dry Falls without getting wet, a rare natural phenomenon. The short paved trail leads to an immersive experience where cascading water frames your view of the lush forest.
