The hike is relatively easy. They do not let you onto the trail without 32oz of water per person. There is a fee to enter the hike. You are allowed in the water at the end of the hike. So take something you don't mind getting wet in. There is nowhere to change. If its warm out you can dry as you hike back.

We love this easy hike because of the water, so pretty and relaxing. There are some big stairs in a few spots.
