About: Rainbow Falls truly lives up to the hype. It’s beautifully shaped, has feel-it-in-your-bones power and, because its banks are devoid of overhanging trees, is wonderfully visible from all angles. Plus, if it’s a sunny day, you’re almost certain to see rainbows.
Difficulty: The trail is easy and well-marked.
