Tips

Hiking

It is a 2,400-foot (739-meter) waterfall, the highest in North America and the fifth highest in the solar system. It is ten times higher than Niagara or Shoshone Falls, almost twice as high as the Empire State Building, and about as tall as a 200-story building if anyone ever built one.

Best time to visit: In the spring, when the water roars off the falls and the breeze it creates on the bridge under the falls will blow your hat off your head.
