Photo Suggestions

The falls are very visible from the road.

After you park, you can shoot from the road, but your better shots are climbing or sliding over some big rocks to get down near the water (about 10 feet - not dangerous).

Once you are close to the water, be sure to turn around and shoot several shots of the river.  In the fall, it is beautiful.
 

During the summer you should visit early in the morning if you want solitude, but go in the afternoon if you want to people-photograph. The rocks near the falls collect snow to make a serene winter setting.
