Tips

Mapleton Falls drops an amazing 120 metres into the valley below, but is only visible seasonally. The most impressive time to visit the falls is after heavy rain, usually during the wetter months, but come off-season, and the falls might just be a light trickle. These falls are unique because, from this lookout area, the falls are a ways down below, and visitors get an almost bird's-eye view.
