!
Even though it’s right beside the road, this waterfall has managed to escape the attention of most waterfallers, probably because it’s in the boonies. It’s a decent waterfall, very high, but it needs water to look good. Catch it right after good rainfall and it’ll be worth the drive. When the flow is low, it’s hardly worth stopping for.
